They were rewarded last week when the first crimson colors flashed, indicating the first salmon had begun their fall spawning run in Sheep Creek, a tributary of Flaming Gorge Reservoir in northeastern Utah. Like all Utah salmon populations, the fish in the Sheep creek run are a completely freshwater species known as kokanee salmon. It is a land locked subspecies of the sockeye salmon and follows a similar life cycle including turning red before they fight their way upstream to spawn. The lifecycle of the Pacific salmon begins in freshwater streams where the parents have deposited their eggs in nests hollowed out of the sand and gravel. The young salmon hatch and spend a short time of their life in the stream before migrating to the ocean to become adults. About four years after hatching the Pacific salmon return to the mouth of the streams in which they were bom. After undergoing a physical change such as both sexes of the sockeye salmon tuning red and the male growing a hooked jaw and a humped back, the salmon begin fighting their way upstream to spawn on the same sand and gravel bar on which they were bom. The Kokanee, like their Pacific cousins, follow a similar life cycle, down-sueaexcept instead of migrating to the Pacific Ocean, they migrate to a freshwater lake. Most spawning kokanee average between 12 and 14 inches m length, but the fish from Flaming Gorge average 8 inches and can weight up to four pounds. Flaming Gorge, East Canyon and Porcupine reservoirs have established populations of kokanee salmon.

About 20 to 30$ will survive and carry The yearling bull only hunting Manti regulation was initiated on the elk unit in 1989. By protecting two year old and older bulls, Division of Wildlife Resources biologists hope to give a number of animals the chance to mature and develop maximum antler size. The regulation remains in effect this year and seems to be working. Biologists and hunters report seeing a greater bulls. d number of The harvest of mature bulls will eventually resume under a limited permit system. Each year a certain number of hunters will have the opportunity to draw a special per- over to subsequent years. These will have the opportunity to grow up and provide a limited harvest for the trophy hunter. The system will assure that sufficient mature bulla will be left for breeding and a healthy sex ratio will be maintained in the herd. Depending on the cooperation of hunters, this program will provide more and bigger bulls in the herd and eventually more trophy class bulls to harvest. Compliance is the key. If even a handful of hunters illegally take a branch-antlere- d bull during the bull hunt, the success only yearling of the program will be reduced. Sportsmen are encouraged to report any violations they see to a conservation office or highway branch-antlere- mit authorizing them to take a mature bull. The Manti will not become a limited entry unit, however. It will continue as an open area with the yearling bull only regulation.

Levine Women are not the only ones who get breast cancer. Although breast cancer in the U.S is 84 times more common in women than in men, it afflicts men too. Men, like women, havea greater risk of breast cancer if they have close relatives with the disease. This finding comes from a study funded by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Investigators compared data about family history of breast cancer in 277 men who had the disease and 300 men who did not. .Both groups were matched by age and geographic location.
