Everyone is urged to use caution and make it a safe Halloween for everyone. Pheasant Hunt Begins 50,000 hunters are expected to be in the field this Saturday hunt continues through November 15 over most of the state. Daily bag and possession limits are 2 and 4 birds respectively, roosters only. For specific regulations, check the 1991 upland game proclama- tion. Overall, hunters can expect only a fair hunt, about the same as last year. A total harvest of 70,000 birds is expected. Loss and degradation of habitat, combined with wet weather during nesting, have taken a heavy toll on pheasant populations in the last few years. Hunters should concentrate their efforts in traditional hunting areas that still offer pheasants good hiding and feeding cover. Birds will be holding tightly in these areas, which means that hunters should lake their time and move slowly through heavy cover. Hunters should identify the birds before they shoot. Roster-onl- y harvest has no effect on pheasant populations. However, illegal hen harvest can be devastating to localized bird numbers. In the northern region of the state hunters can expect slightly improved hunting on agricultural and conservation reserve program lands. Pheasants are reluming to historical habitat around the Great Salt Lake, which is slowly recov . ering from flooding in the early 1980s. Pheasant hunting is expected to be poor in the southeastern region of Utah. Numbers of birds observed and production have been poor this year. The best hunting will be in the agricultural areas of western Carbon and Emery counties and near the town of Green River and Bluff. In the southern region, pheasant hunting will be poor in Sevier and Millard counties. Pheasant numbers continue to decline in the central region of the state. The best hunting should be on agricultural lands and in heavy cover around Utah Lake. Hunters are reminded of the new trespass laws this year. Written permission is required to hunt o private lands that are properly posted Written permission can take any form as long as it is signed by the landowner or person in charge and has the name of the person being given permission, appropriate dates, and general description of the property. In order to be properly posted, private property must have: No trespassing signs or at least 1 00 square inches of fluorescent or bright yellow paint displayed at all corners, along all roads, fishing streams crossing property lines, gates and rights of way entering such lands. Hunter licenses can be revoked if convicted of trespass. Possession of lead shot on federal refuges and state water Registered youth can vote for Youth Council Voting booths will be set up in the basement of the Salina City Hall November 4th for Salina Youth Council elections. Only youth previously registered will be allowed to vote. A roster of those eligible to vote will be posted at the polls. Polls will be open between the hours of 3 and 7 p.m. The swearing in of the mayor and councilpersons will take place November 14 at 7 p.m. at City Hall.

Speed limits in school of utmost importance with drivers failing to yield to school Pam Williams Sevier School District County, state and city law enforcement agencies have reaffirmed their support of safety laws that protect children, whether riding the bus or walking to school. Highway Patrol Lt. Dan Chidester said the most serious safety problem in the county is buses stopped to load or unload passengers. When those bus signal lights are on, its the same as a traffic light at an intersection, he said., and the Highway Patrol takes a vigorous enforcement posture when Continued on Page 2 District high schools see hike in studentbody numbers A 3.73 percent increase in Sevier School Districts enrollment this fall represents 177 new students fairly evenly distributed throughout all grades. All elementary schools lost enrollment, with Salina Elementary losing the most, 35, while high schools had substantial gains. Richfield, which grew by 101, outdistanced all the rest. Composite statistics show that this years ninth grade class, with 467 members, is the largest, followed by this years seventh grade with 406. Smallest is kindergarten with 305. Broken down by school, 1991 enrollment is as follows with a plus or minus from 1990 statistics in parenthesis: Elementary Schools Ashman, 529 (down 25) Koosharcm, 37 (down 9) Monroe, 577 (down 21) Pahvant, 423 (no change) Salina, 548 (down 35) Middle Schools North Sevier, 309 (up 10) South Sevier, 322 (down 4) Red Hills, 558 (down 4) High Schools North Sevier, 337 (up 42) Richfield, 747 (up 101) South Sevier, 408 (up 34) Cedar Ridge, 128 (up 88). Of the 37 children at Koosharcm School, ten arc fifth graders, and two are third graders. The drop in enrollment there resulted in the transfer of one teacher to a different school. Secondary students from Koosharcm go to Junction where they attend Piute High. Major Growth at Cedar Ridge High, from 40 to 128 this year, shows that students struggling in the traditional high schools are taking advantage of the option to complete graduation requirements through the alternative program. By the time the new building addition was in place, needs had again outgrown the space, according to Randy Brown, Principal. The annual report shows that 341 (14.4) of the entire enrollment to be racial minorities -- - native American, Asian, black or Hispanic backgrounds. Statistics are prepared accord ing to the head count taken October 1, according to business administrator Sam Ware. He said this years growth is an indication that new families arc moving into the area bringing children of all ages into the school system.
