Moreover, the insistence on avoiding sugar has come under fire in recent years, especially when the alternatives may be more harmful than the sweet stuff itself. It seems to me that fat and sedentary and not sugar, are the main culprits of obese America. The fact of the matter is that fat people aren't runners are.

Guy Wallace photo Bighorn transplant program successful by Guy Wallace Conservation Officer The desert bigfliorn sheep transplant program is a unique part of big game management in Utah. It is an ongoing project to expand the range of the desert bighorns. The Division of Wildlife Resources, in cooperation with Canyonlands National Park and the Bureau of Land Management, capture desert bighorns in the park, where they are relatively undisturbed by man, and transplant them to areas where they were found historically. The desert bighorn was all but wiped out by disease and after the introduction of domestic sheep on Utah rangeland almost 100 years ago. Human disturbances during the uranium boom of the early 1950's also took their toll. Jim Bates, regional .game manager for Wildlife Resources, crew and a uses a three-ma- n helimaneuverable small, highly copter to capture desert bighorn sheep. Ruggedterrainnear Island in the Sky, deep in the canyon-land- s, makes trapping difficult. After the sheep are located, the trapping crew is flown ahead until a suitable capture site is found usually a narrow ravine or a narrow bench along the windgates. While the helicopter returns to herd the sheep towards the capture site, the crew hastily sets up the tangle nets. Often there is only time to set up a couple of poles in the die of the net and the crew hold the rest ip by hand hoping to snag the sheep as the helicopter herds them into the tangle net. This method does not always result in a capture as the sheep may find and escape route around the net, or they may run up to the net, practically touch it with their noses, then turn and run the other direction. over-grazi- ng Once the animals are caught in the net, they are quickly placed in body bags to prevent injury to the animals and to minimize stress during transport by helicopter to a holding area. A veterinarian is on hand the operation to throughout insure the health and safety of the sheep. Blood samples are taken from each animal to test brucellosis for 1,300 planted to reduce run-o-ff and erosion. 3. Workers have stabilized feet of streambanks in 21,784 places where there was immediate threat to roads, campgrounds, bridges, irrigation structures, and reservoirs. 4. 1,500 feet of stream bottom have been stabilized to reduce erosion and sedimentation. 5. 26 acres of landslides have been stabilized. There are remaining hazardous slides that can only be monitored. There is new concern in 1984 about record accumulations of snow and moisture throughout the Ihtermountain Region, which involves National basically Forests in Utah, Nevada, southern Idaho, and western Wyoming.

The minimum bid is set at $20,000. Last year the permit went for $32,000 to Bill Leech of Arlington, Texas. Leech harvested a 14 to 15 year old trophy ram last November. The desert bighorn sheep has made a strong comeback because of the transplant program and, healthy desert bighorn today, populations are found in several remote areas of southeastern Utah. sfehA A desert bighorn lamb, in abright orange body bag, awaits transport to aholdingareaandlatertoanew Guy Wallace photo range.
