been improved signs erected and local businesses involved in opens promoting the ATV loop No new trails had to be cut to make the loop "Basically what we did was to tie in a bunch of old roads" Fremont Indian State Park Superintendent Gordon said "Some roads we had to work on but we didn't have to cut any new ones" The trail may be extended to Wayne County Clyde Lay forest engineer for the Fishlake National Forest conceived the idea for the trail system two years ago “What we decided on was one major loop that would lie in many of the cities" he said "A place where people could ride pull down into one of the cities for food and gas and lodging if they needed and then run back up and ride I saw this as a tremendous benefit to the different cit- ies" Officials estimate each rider spends about S 50 per day on food gas todging and mementos For information about the trail call the East Millard Travel Council FishPanoramaland lake National Forest Supervisor X BLM area manager or

County reported adjusted gross income of $15000 or less 186 percent 152 income of $15001 to $25000 percent income of $25001 to $35000 155 percent income of $35001 to $50000 63 percent of income $50001 to $75000 06 percent income of $75001 to $100000 and 03 percent of income of more than $100000 Taxes reported on the 1988 tax returns reflect the changes made by the 1987 Utah Legislature and the subsequent adjustments made by the special session of the 1988 Legislature which met in July 1988 The net effect of these changes was to increase the state income tax burden for high income taxpayers and many single individuals and to duce the tax burden for groups and families with a large number of children In fact many families were completely removed from the tax roles by these actions Of all state returns filed in Utah last year 89 percent reported a gross income of $50000 or less while 11 percent reported a gross income of more than $50000 This percent however paid $268 million or 46 percent of all state income taxes collected for 1988 At the other extreme 42 percent of the returns listed a gross income of $15000 or less Only 4 percent of all tax payments came from this group The study observes that some of the returns reporting income of less than $ 5 000 may have been filed by students and others working in andor temporary jobs in order to claim a refund for taxes which had been withheld during the year Port of Entry permits The Millard County 40 North 300 West - Delta Utah (801) 41 South Main - Fillmore Utah (801) state income tax New firewood maps available for Fishlake For all your printing needs come and see us at We in Residents of Millard County paid a total of $2402867 in Utah state individual income taxes last year according to a study released by Utah Foundation the This private tax research organization amount averaged $718 per return filed In return for these income tax payments schools in Millard County received $24 9449 in state school aid In other words Millard County received $ 65 82 or 07 percent more than it paid in state income taxes to support the school aid program According to the Foundation report the state individual income tax is one of the taxes earmarked for the state uniform school fund which is used to equalize education opportunities for children throughout the state In addition to the state individual income tax the uniform school fund receives revenue from the corporate income tax the liquor excise (school lunch) lax excess property tax revenue from several wealthy school districts earnings on school land investments miscellaneous taxes and transfers from the state general fund Because of these other revenues going into the uniform school fund the state aid distributed to the various school districts exceeds the state individual income tax paid in most Utah In a few counties (Emery counties Salt Lake and Summit counties) however the state aid received is less than the state income tax paid Foundation analysts point out that 3346 state income tax returns were filed in Millard County for the 1988 tax year These returns reported total adjusted or an gross income of $73220000 average of $21883 per return About Davis in Mock Legislature 200-mil- holiday" The fire restriction order prohibits: Open fires of any kind except campfires within facilities provided for them in designated

given way to today's "catch and release" or catch just enough for dinner Today many fishermen believe in the "catch and release" program After catching a fish the fisherman properly releases it so it can continue to grow and be enjoyed by other anglers Most “catch and release" fishermen follow a few simple guidelines— such as fishing with artificial flics and lures bringing the fish in as quickly as possible keeping the fish in the water as much as possible treating the fish as gently as possible cutting the line if the fish is hooked deep and releasing the fish into quiet water The Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR) has recently published a booklet about catch and release fishing available at any DWR office West Millard Wildlife Association members mountains west of Delta built 2 chukar guzzlers in the Junk becomes water source “One man's junk is another man's treasure" In this case the West Millard Wildlife Association turned junk into new water sources for chukar in the mountains west of Delta The sportsmen’s group in a cooperative project with the Division of Wildlife Resources and the Bureau of Land Management built two chukar water developments or guzzlers out of old heavy equipment tires The bottom of the old tires are covered with a 14 inch steel plate A construction adhesive placed on the bottom of the plate forms the water tight seal A lid with a 12 inch high opening allows chukars to walk (town a ramp into the tire for water The lid also slows evaporation and prevents larger animals from drinking water from the guzzler The guzzlers are placed canyons which receive very little antelope use These guzzlen are filled with about 500 gallons of water Large sheet metal aprons will be built this fall to collect rainfall and keep the guzzlers filled The DWR and the BLM hope to construct four more “tire guzzlers" this fall These guzzlers are quick and easy to construct and cost about 14 of what most other chukar guzzlers cost The groups involved with the project thank Continental Lime Co for donating the old tires Virgie Ivie Ptr FLOWELL Paula Christensen went to Holden last week and went with her parents George an Rheadean Stephenson spending the

Resources (DWR) conservation officers when asked what to do with “abandoned" or “lost" wildlife babies Although wild animal mothers do leave their young alone they rarely abandon them without reason “Seldom are we doing young wildlife a favor by picking them up and taking them home or to a DWR official" says conservation officer Garth Carter “In almost every case the young animal dies in captivity or as a result of being handled and released back into the wild” Carter offers this advice “Each species of wildlife has its own means of survival some mothers leave their young unattended other mothers constantly monitor the juvenile's activities No matter the case the best advise is always leave the wildlife alone" Monday luly 16th All proceeds from haircuts perms shampoo set etc will
