THE BARN owl is a large owl, recogd nizable by its face, small dark eyes and long legs. All other owls, except the snowy owl, are heavily marked on the chest and belly areas as well as on the underside of their wings. The barn owl has a lightly broken barred coloration on the underside of its wings and a lightly spotted chest and belly, appearing almost white when in flight. In the fall of 1976, Nongame biologists received reports of large white owls in the farm areas west of Kaysville, Utah. The follow-u- p and resultant study has revealed barn owls present west of the Wasatch Front, from somewhere south of Provo all the way to the Idaho border. light-colore- ci- Alaska Governor Jay Hammond says simply, This is taxation without representation.

This log cabin, with beautiful dove-tailecorners, was recently given by Laurie's father Weldon Roberts, to the State Department of Parks and Recreation to be placed in Old Deseret Village near This Is The Place Monument in east Salt Lake City.

Pioneers all over the world, featured pioneer CAROL COLLETT, in dolls, whistles, toys used by pioneer children who came with their parents from all over the world to settle in Utah. THE Targeteer Puppet parade was the most fun of all because the members of those classes, under the direction of Becky McMillan and Marie Peterson, made puppets to resemble their pioneer ancestors and told about them at a show for the combined primaries. Those participating were Jeff Golden, Melinda Dent, Mark Taylor, Colleen Cook, April Turneau, Darrin Porter, Jennifer Whittaker, Pussell Nelson, David Peterson, Shari Jessop, Christopher Reynard and Shane Weese. The puppets were beautifully made and the stories very interesting. That same day they saw a demonstration of how to card wool and spin yarn with a spindle. PIONEERS OF Kaysville were the subject of one of the programs. Laurie Roberts Linford told of how her Levi Roberts, came to Kays Ward in 1850 and built a home on Kay's Creek because of the long straight willows which grew along its banks. His cos- tume and taking the part of Fmily Stewart Barnes, told of Emilys experiences crossing the plains and settling with her family in Kays Ward. William Stewart, her father, was the first shoemaker in the settlement. Many of the things used by the pioneers were shown. The different kinds of lights, butter bowl, paddle and mold, different plants and herbs used as remedies, a patchwork quilt and other artifacts made and used by the pioneers. Also each week several children told stories of their own ancestors. Ramona Porter and Linda Major, of the music department, were nitstanding in their handling these programs, adding .lttmg music to each one. A on PRIMARY Pioneer party July 12 was the closing featured outdoor program. It games, pony and cart rides, jump the rope and races; singing, dancing, a taffy pull, fishing booth, beauty parlor, barber shop and many other things their pioneer ancestors enjoyed. This program has created an interest among the children to learn about their ancestors and to appreciate their pioneer heritage.

REWARDS have been paid to individuals who have taken the time and effort to provide information to Division law enforcement officers which has led to convictions in various wildlife cases. Most of the situations involved big game animals taken illegally during hunting seasons or killed out of season. Nine such claims have been awarded this year; several are still pending. These will be processed in the next few weeks. THE REWARD program is a policy of the Wlidlife Board and has been in effect since the late 1950s. In January 1975 payments under the program were increased substantially. Rewards are budgeted as part of the Divisions enforcement operating funds and are awarded to individuals who to provide information Division officers or other law enforcement personnel about serious wildlife violations. Up to $1,000 per incident can be authorized by the Board for citizen involvement in these cases. The maximum reward applies to cases involving moose, buffalo, bighorn, mountain goat, antelope and elk. Information regarding the illegal taking of deer and other species yields a lesser amount.

There is a right w'ay and a w'rong w'ay to use a landing net. The right way is to hold the net in the water and lead the fish into it. The w'rong way is to try to scoop the fish out of the water with the net. EMPTY paste shoe polish cans are easily cleaned w'ith a bit of gasoline and make excellent containers for hooks and other small fishing items. The lid is tight, but the side openers make it easy to remove. Fish out every cast you make, even if the lure lands in the wrong spot or in less than perfect position. Yanking a poorly cast lure out of the water will frighten any fish in the area. And besides, many a fish has taken a fly or y sw'ivel. The line is attached to one eye of the snap sw'ivel, a sinker is suspended on a length of leader from another eye, and a baited hook is suspended on a short leader on the third eye. The sinker touches bottom, in strong. In pioneer days many husbands hunted to put food on the table. Some still d but not as many.

Seattle Slew may not be merely the greatest since BARN OWLS are typically found in association with dairy farmland and near marshy areas where they find good supplies of small rodents, upon which they primarily feed. Studies of pellets found near nesting areas have shown that approximately percent of the barn owls diet consists of Microtus or meadow mice. The nighttime predator is thus beneficial to Utah farmers because these rodents are grazers which conflict with domestic livestock. They also consume starlings, English sparrows, shrews, pocket gophers, deer and harvest mice, and some rats.

HERITAGE, PARADE d heart-shape- Advertisement SPEAKING OF MONEY DO-IT-YOURS- ELF MOVING: PART By EZRA T. CLARK President Davis County Bank Last week we discussed renting a truck or trailer for moving. Lets continue with some tips about packing and getting underway. How you pack has a lot to do with how smoothly your job of moving will of household items go. Do in as many square boxes or solid cartons as possible. Before you put the first stick of furniture aboard, make sure youve someone to got guide you, both g when ticing youre prac- and when youre actually getting in position to load and unload. EZRA T. CLARK Dont overlook a safety check. Start your truck and give a listen for strange sounds. Check them out. And your tire tread and air pressure. That goes for trailers, too. Double check the trailer hitch. Make sure brake lights are working properly. Ixiading Is an art in itself. For a truck or a trailer, make sure the heaviest items go in first. Arrange them up front, on the floor. Take the drawers out of a dresser to get it aboard; then replace drawers loaded with smaller household items. Use blankets or rugs to separate and keep each piece of furniture protected. Back the remaining items evenly from side to side and front to rear, leaving the lightest for last. These should be near the roof and at the rear of the truck or trailer. Use straps to keep the load from shifting. Do not overload stated load iimits of the vehicle. hold-dow- n II Weight distribution is especially important with a trailer. Ideally, 60 of the load should be in the front half. Thats to facilitate safe, easy handling of the vehicle. With the furnishings on board, get behind the wheel and give one last look at the mirrors, the seat adjustment and seat belts. Everything should be checked out before you get underway, just like the procedure that every airplane pilot goes through before takeoff. Remember that youre driving a much greater weight and many more feet than you ordinarily do. Trucks and trailers require more stopping room, so allow plenty of distance between yourself and the vehicle ahead. When taking a truck up a hill, shift dow n. Shift down, also, once you reach the crest of the hill. The engine will slow the truck so you wont have to use excessive braking. Do the same w hen hauling a trailer. When you are turning, remember that a trailer's wheels will come inside the cars turning radius. So take turns wider to give the trailer more room to follow. Slow down before you put your brakes on while you are turning. Its it may take all the savings no fun-a- nd out of moving-- if you flip over and land in a ditch. Keep alert not only to whats on the road ahead of you but also whats above you. Bridges, trees and gas station canopies are just some of the hazards to a high truck or even a trailer. Truck and trailer driving requires skill. You only acquire it with experience, so give yourself time to learn. Proceed with common sense and caution. Above all, drive safely. The best part of moving is arriving at your destination free of mishaps. |
