North Salt Lake Choose your weapon & season The Division of Wildlife Resources' (DWR) answer to the clamoring public is the new "choose your season" deer hunting strategy. This year hunters must choose either rifle, bow or muzzleloader. The traditional deer hunt and three season deer chaser appears to have gone the way of the dinosaurs. Prompted by a hard winter on the tail of six years of drought, the general season rifle hunt is now seven days statewide. Limiting the rifle harvest to a single weekend is expected to reduce the buck harvest, say DWR game biologists. Archers are the real winners this year. The 1993 archery season is 28 days long (Aug. 21 Sept. 17). It overlaps the elk archery season (Sept. as an added bonus. is gaining Though not as popular as bow and arrow, muzzle-loadin- g a strong following.

In fact, Dick and Jane are now Stone Age figments of a generation. Learning to read -- by-go- ne in today's generation has become high-tec- h. The changing times, points out Steve Johnson, Box Elder School SNOWBLOWERS District's curriculum director, means combating television and computer games by teaching children to read for enjoyment. Helping students become better readers has been a major emphasis for the school district. After a lengthy discovery process that lasted over a year, the district gulped a breath of fresh courage last spring and wrote out a check for $200,000 worth of new reading material for all district elementary schools. For the price, the district has high hopes that this approach will do more than just teach the alphabet. They expect it to ignite a reading passion among today's students. In truth, the district is buying much more than just books. The system is a modern-da- y blitzkrieg of technology where teachers use laser discs and posters and story book cut-ouand music to bring reading to life. The school district will monitor results of the new curriculum to be sure they are getting the biggest bang for the buck. The Leader 0),1(5195 We 113 N.
