The Summit County Bee Coalville, UT 84017 Friday, February 12, 1988 7A Farm Leader Tells Republicans Key Farm Issues for 21st Century Water scarcity will replace i others as the domestic issue of the 1990's and early 21st century, according to C. Booth Wallentine, executive vice president of Utah Farm Bureau Federation. Addressing the Utah Republican Long Range Planning Committee, Feb. 27, 1988, Wallentine said the current conflict over release of water from Den Creek Reservoir is a precursor of things to come. "Some government officials seem to be saying water for fish is a higher priority than water for the produc tion of food for human consumption. If we hope to maintain a viable food production industry in Utah, we cannot let that happen and all citizens must realize that," Wallentine said. The farm leader said transfers of water firm agriculture to other uses should be from a willing seller to a willing buyer without using government's power to condemn water because water rights are property rights. According to Utah Republican Party leaders, the party is inviting ng its opposition to excessive wilderness designation in Utah.

They found them in record numbers.

Biotechnology research, continued focus on educational excellence and preservation of Utah's Grcenbclt tax law were also listed by Wallen- tine as essential to the future of a viable agriculture in Utah. ' ! ' Hypothermia results when the body temperature is significantly lowered. The combination of cold weather, water (from sweat or the elements), wind, lack of heat and the failure of the body to produce the needed warmth can cause hypothermia. The initial stage of hypothermia consist of a feeling of being chilled and shivering. The advance stage occurs when muscles become rigid, breathing is shallow and the heartbeat weaken. Often, a victim docs not realize that he or she is in danger. The . human body has automatic defenses to protect itself from the effects of cold weather. When the body cools to critical temperatures, blood (lows from the limbs to the inner organs to keep the hypothermia victim alive. However, oxygen to the brain is reduced, which makes it difficult for the person to understand what is occurring. A person with hypothermia loses more heat than the body is able to produce. When the body cannot make up for the heat loss, the victim begins to shiver and loses some control of the arms and legs which will cause stumbling and confusion. The shivering can be violent and may increase with an onset of muscle spasm. To prevent hypothermia, the of Wildlife Resources encourages everyone, and especially outdoor enthusiasts to stay dry from the weather and any that leads to perspiring. Dress in layers which allows clothing to be adjusted as temperature changes. Wool or wool blends are recommended since they hold heat even Division over-exerti- when wet. Heat from the body core is produced by eating a balanced diet. Always carry additional food to resupply the burned calories when hiking, hunting, ice fishing and other outdoor activities. Hypothermia is a killer which preys on anyone who fails to dress properly to take additional food and is unable to build a fire or find shelter in time of extreme need. m a $ winter, found 283 on the North Slope and 318 in Chalk Creek. Wildlife biologists conduct aerial trend counts annually, weather permitting. It requires deep snow for good counts and accurate data gathering, says Grandison. the past two winters have been relatively mild and dry with inadequate snow for good aerial counts. In addition to total numbers, all animals are classified as bulls, cows or calves.
