Permission cards must be used by hunters on private lands and sportsmen to reduce In recent years, conflicts. great efforts have been undertaken to cooperatively develop acceptable programs w hich allow private to open their properly to hunting, with the right to take action when abuses of private property occurs, he said. The programs Ashby refers to arc the private land posting and hunter permission card laws passed by the 1991 Utah State Legislature and adopted by the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. This provides landowners a clear-cu- t way to better identify land posted closed, w'hich reduces hunter trespass problems. The permission and identification card allows land owners to have in their possession hard evidence of the hunters who have permission to hunt on their lands. If hunters are found without a perm ission card, the landowner can legally call law' en hunter-landown- The stales largest general farming organization is urging hunters to respect private property rights as they go to the fields in the annual deer and pheasant hunts. Ken Ashby, Delta, president of the Utah Farm Bureau Federation, says farmers and ranchers need to help control i isirig big game populations in Utah, which compete with livestock for range forage or destroy crops in the fields. He said that many farmers and ranchers refused to open their lands to hunting in the past due to the property damage to both personal property and livestock, that often occurred when hunters came on their lands. Ashby says more Utah farmers and ranchers are now prepared to open their private lands to hunting for both big game and pheasants, thanks to renewed efforts by state wildlife management organizations land-owne- forcement officials and charge the hunters with trespassing. Since these laws went into effect, we have seen a decrease in the number of conflicts between and hunters, Ashby said. Posting signs and permission cards are available from your local Division of Wildlife Resources Conservation Officer. We find that landowners are more than happy to give hunting permission when they can be sure their buildings and machinery will not be shot up, or their livestock shot at or driven around, Ashby noted. Hunters are urged to close gates if they open them, or leave gates open if thats the way they find them. Respect crops, livestock and other personal property, and Im sure youll be welcome on private property at hunting time, he concluded. land-owne- Utah Wildlife Board reconsider Emery County Commission voted to appeal the Utah Wildlife Boards recent decision to eliminate the spring bear hunt. At the same time, the commission assured spoasmen, stock-me- n and outfitters that it will do all it can to persuade the board that the spring hunt is necessary. Representative Brad Johnson (R), said he believes there is a movement in the environmental community to try to eliminate the lifestyles of hunter and ranchers. He said one way to eliminate that lifestyle is to eliminate predator control. Johnson added that 3,5fX) to 4 ,(K)0 cougars in Utah consume about one deer a week, which adds up to over 100,000 deer lost to cougars per year. For man to exist and enjoy life, we have to control predators, he said. We have to stand up and be counted on this issue, he added, and offered his support as a state legislator. Johnson suggested that a possible remedy for the situation w ould be to Waterfowl hunt for this area begins November 6 The state has again been divided into hunting zones for the 1992-9- 3 waterfowl season to allow for maximum hunting oportunity. Northern Utahs Zone One waterfowl hunters are hunting now through November 30. Zone one includes all of Box Elder, Cache, Davis, Morgan, Rich, Salt lake, Summit, Utah, Wasatch, Weber and the part of Tooele county north of Zone Two hunters hunt will begin November 6 and run through January3. This zone covers all areas of Utah not listed above. The daily bag limit is four ducks, including no more than three mallards, but only one female mallard; ntfaaymeBiisaesi gitfnhWBiiMnmniurwri-wfcnmmj- no more than two redheads or two canvasbacks, or one of each; and no more than one pintail. The possession limit is twice the daily bag limit. The daily bag lmit for geese is five birds, no more than two of which may be dark geese (Canada, whitefronted or brant) and no more than three of which may be white geese (snow, blue or Ross). The possession limit is six geese, no more than four of which may be dark geese. Waterfowl proclamations containing all hunting reguations and legal shooting hours are available at all DWR offices, and wherever licenses are sold. The Gingerbread Cottage Presents its Annual For Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas Saturday, October 31, ushers in Halloween and the season opener for the 1992 pheasant and quail hunts. Thanks to a mild winter and favorable conditions during the nesting season, pheasant populations are up this year, and hunters are given a 25 better chance for success this year over last year. Utahs DWR Upland Game Wildlife Program coordinator Jay Roberson, says both pheasant and quail hunting should be better in most areas, with a slight improvement in Sevier, Sanpete, Carbon, Millard, Juab, Tooele, and Uintah Counties. Most upland game hunters will still hunt pheasants even though Hunter numbers have declined. participation has remained strong. We expect about 40,000 hunters afield, and about .73 birds per hunter, said Roberson. Hunter are reminded that in addition to their 1992 small game or combination hunting license, they must also purchase and possess while hunting, a $5 upland game habitat stamp. All persons 16 years of age or older hunting pheasant, quail, sage grouse, forest grouse, cottontail, snowshoe, chukar, Hungarian partridge and morning dove are required to have this stamp. Money from the $5 stamp will be used to dcvelbp habitat, buy land, purchase public access to private lands, transplant upland game, and control predators. Nearly 75 of funds raised from the stamp will be spent on pheasants. Hunters do not threaten pheasant populations despite their large num- - rs bear hunt make changes on the Wildlife Board. If we have the board back, theyll make some decisions for us, he said. The board includes five members from five geographical locations in Utah, who voted 2 to discontinue the spring bear hunt. The terms of the members expire at the first of the year. A stockman from Green River, Cory Gentry, said he has had a number of problems with bear on his farming and ranching operation. A Division of Wildlife Resources animal damage control expert presented statistics of the number of domestic animals killed by predators over the last two years in the area. He said dozens of sheep and lambs were reported killed by coyote, mountain lion and black bear, and at least two head of cattle in recent months. Other citizens said that the spring bear hunt is necessary to control the bear before the sheep and cattle are placed on the mountain for summer grazing. State Rep. Ray Neilsen, of Fairview recommended that the commission consider appealing the decision of the board. The Commissioners voted in favor of writing an appeal seeking to have the Wildlife Board reconvene and reconsider its earlier decision on the hunt. For spring color - plant bulbs now For a yard full of color next spring, plant bulbs now. Nurseries have been receiving new shipments of tulips, daffodils, hyacinths, crocuses, and other spring flowering bulbs. The bulbs most go into the ground now in order to develop roots to ensure adequate healthy spring growth. The small developing flower deep within each bulb also needs the winter cooling to guarantee full spring flower glory. Select the right bulbs to suit your needs and growing conditions. Bulbs such as hyacinths, grape hyacinths, some narcissus provide fragrance. In time, these bulbs provide a carpet like effect. Glacier lilies, camas lilies, grape hyacinths and star of bethlchcm will tolerate moist soils. 3-- If you want to naturalize rather than plant in formal rows, scatter the bulbs and plant them where they fall. Use tulips and daffodils for striking color combinations. Choose bulbs that are full in appearance and firm to the touch. Plant the smaller bulbs to the front of your bed, about 4 to 5 inches deep. Larger bulbs should be spaced about 4 to 8 inches apart and be six to 8 inches deep. To enrich and loosen heavy soils, plan to incorporate peat moss, pine park or compost. If frost damage is a concern, wait until the ground begins to freeze before applying a mulch for protection. This covering will maintain a relatively even temperature throughout the winter months in the soil surrounding the bulbs. Error of the week? Error oT the Week. In this weeks correspondence a State Job Service Report covering unemployment and financial growth in Central Utah, was explaining a new business in Sanpete County. The report noted the following: South Sanpete Pack is a butcher shop, featuring fresh cut meat, cutting and wrapping, and customer slaughter. It would be interesting to note how many customers have been slaughtered to date!!! bers in the field each season. Research has shown that pheasants suffer a 70 percent annual mortality rate due primarily to exposure and predation whether or not hunting is allowed. The average lifespan is measured in months, regardless of whether hunting removes some of these game birds. Basically this means that brood stock saved from hunting does not survive to breed unless weather conditions are favorable and food and cover arc adequate. Since one male pheasant will successfully mate with several hens, there is no reason to save more males from the hunters bag. So, theoretiseason cally, Utah could have a y without harming pheasant population numbers. Plenty of roosters would be left to breed the following year. 30-da- The best hunting will be in irrigated agricultural areas which comprise just 2.2 of Utahs total land areas. Favored foods include waste grains, weed seeds, and green vegetation. You must have a signed permission form with you if you are hunting on private property. Remember, ask first.

Fishlake Forest officials say welcome - but -- The fire danger remains very high on regional forests, according to the Fishlake Forest Service. They urge that hunters do the following: Use extremecaution with campfire and warming fires. Mornings are cool and the tendency is to get a fire going at camp to get warmed up. Thats fine, but dont leave the fire unattended - and put it dead out before you leave. Be sure the fires are not located near grass of trees that could spread the fire. There can be strong winds at higher elevations that can make a fire spread very rapidly. Snow and rain are likely at this time of year. Use caution. Many of the mountain roads in the area can become very slick and dangerous after even small amounts of precipitation. Listen to weather forecasts and go prepared in case you become stuck or have an accident. Keep a basic survival kit in your vehicle, including blankets, flares, survival food, a flashlight, and first aid supplies. Its better to be safe than sorry. Gct maps of the area youre going to hunt. These are available at forest service and BLM offices. Of particular interest are travel maps showing where ATV, motorcycle and fourwheel drive use is restricted. Horse users are encouraged to the jump on a new state law that get will require use of only certified weed free hay in national forest camps beginning next year. The use of weed free hay will help keep the backcountry in its natural state. Weeds can have a significant impact on future forage available for livestock as well as big game. Litter can also be a problem. Pack out what you pack in - plus a little more. Keep our forests and rangelands clean and litter free. Show respect for private lands and populated areas. Campgrounds and summer homes areas are closed to discharge of firearms. Be sure to wear the required amount of hunter orange - it saves lives. Does your child exhibit any of these symptoms: Hes failing reading but making i As in math, know he could do better in reading if hed only try. Shes so clumsy! I hope shell outgrow it. Hes always moving. I cant make him sit still. She just doesnt pay attention. Never follows directions. He doesnt seem to have any friends. These are remarks that are often made about children with learning disabilities. A learning disability is a permanent disorder which affects the manner in which individuals with normal or above average intelligence take in, retain, and express information. Learning disabilities should be considered a possible cause if a child has trouble thinking clearly, writing legibly, spelling accurately, learning to read or do math, follow directions, remember facts, putting things in sequence or copying forms. Other indications might be a child who is often confused, clumsy, impulsive, hyperactive, or disoriented and who becomes frustrated and rebellious, depressed withdrawn or aggressive. Many of these children will be failures in school unless their disabilities are discovered early and diagnosed properly. Then the children can receive assistance in educational, medical, psychological, and social services to develop their strengths and potential. Adults with learning disabilities frequently have difficulty in one or more of the following: reading com- have in common. They all have learning disabilities. It is estimated that 8 million Americans have learning disabilities. The Learning Disabilities Association of America is a support group for parents, teachers, professionals and individuals with learning disabilities. For more than 25 years the organization has provided information about learning disabilities and supported research, early detection, legislation, advocacy, educational innovation, and career opportunities to improve the lives of children and adults with learning disabilities. During Learning Disabilities Month, LDA urges parents, schools and communities to get information about learning disabilities and get involved with local and state organizations.
