August 17. 1988 Enforcement increased as violations on rise In an effort to keep recreation safe and enjoyable at Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, the Forest Service law enforcement program has been escalated, end two new officers have been ' added to the staff. According to Jeff Larrieu, law officer, more violators have been n cited in the early part of this than in the past However, the two major violations, failure to wear a lifejacket and illegal parking below the spillway on Flaming Gorge Dam, have dropped off somewhat This is a good sign. In the past, jriver users usually took lifejackets along, but did not always wear them, Larrieu noted. When aboator raft is swamped or tipped over, the jackets wash away, leavingthe occupants of the craft to fend for themselves in the sea-eo- . river.' Illegal parking at the launch area below the spillway makes it almost impossible for those towing boats and dories to get their trailers turned around. It was hoped that parking citations would take care of the problem, but more enforcement has been required. Attendants have been placed at the entrance to the launch area and at the launch site, but there are still violators after hours. Ample parking is provided in lots above the launch and an improved trail can be used to get back to the river. The fins for illegal parking is $50. Frequency of violations, such as illegal camping, traffic and off-road violations, are about the same. With the firewood season just beginning; Larrieu and his follow officers expect to find the ususl amount of wood harvesting violations.

He said these kinds of accidents occur when climbers are not properly equipped and are in an unfamiliar area. Slick soled tennis shoes are a poor substitute for climbingshoes, noted Larrieu. At the places where the accidents occutred there are large, loose rocks that could dislodge easily. Also, the ledges slant downward, inviting a slip over the edge. Many outings have been ruined by unsupervised rede climbing. An boy who fell on the rocks near Cart Creek Bridge July 23, is recuperating from his injuries. He waa taken by to Salt Lake after treatment by Daggett County EMTs. . eight-year-o-ld life-flig- ht ontwell Weekend company, Aug. 1, at the Bill Nelson home were Harry and Lillian Peacock, Rangely; Glenda Hall and son, Dustin; Barry and Sue Hall and family; Billie Miller and son Derek; Leslie and Kenny Lamb and family, Salt Lake; Jennifer Hall, Arizona.
