Dogs Attack Local Livestock By Shanna Francis Ogden Valley News Staff Tips for Overseas Travelers Page 12 From the Biography of Christina Marshall Page 14 Classifieds Page 15 When Eden resident Kent Fuller began his daily ritual of chores one morning earlier this month, he was shocked to find that one of his colts had been killed sometime during the night by a predator. What was originally thought to be an attack by a mountain lion, turned out to be, most likely, an attack by domestic dogs. An autopsy of the colt showed that the animal had a broken neck. According to wildlife specialist Bruce Roberts with USDA Wildlife Services, the young colt was probably chased by dogs until it fell and broke its neck, allowing the dogs to then begin feeding on it. Roberts stated that dog owners often let their pets out to exercise at night, then lock them back up in the morning. Unfortunately, the dogs often cause a lot of damage to wildlife and livestock while running loose. “Dogs are usually a bigger problem than predators,” according to Roberts. “Dogs are terrible on deer herds, especially under winter conditions. Game are DOG ATTACK cont. on page 2 Temporary Road Closure “To reduce hazards for vehicles, and provide road, vegetation, and soil protection, motorized travel on Forest Development Roads #20092 and 20220 will be gated and signed as closed to motorized use until further notice,” announced Ogden District Ranger, Ruth Monahan. “This popular 4-wheel drive loop road is located north of Liberty, Utah and has become a favorite party spot for teenagers. Recent 4-wheel drive activity has damaged springs, watercourses, ponds and the road surface. The National Forest System Lands described in this closure are located in Cache County approximately 25 miles northeast of Ogden, Utah. Road #20092 starts at the intersection of the Avon-Liberty County Road in the NW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 29, T.8N., R.1E., and proceeds 1.8 miles NE to the intersection with AvonLiberty County Road in the SW ¼ of the SW ¼ of Section 21, T.8N., R.1E. Road #20220 starts at the intersection with Road 20092 in the SW ¼ of the SE ¼ of Section 20, T.8N., R.1E., and proceeds 1.5 miles to the Honey Bee Mine area in the SW ¼ of the NW ¼ of Section 17, T.8N., R.1E. The temporary road closure does not affect access on the Avon-Liberty County Road. Many areas of the Ogden Ranger District contain fragile soils and vegetation and are susceptible to soil damage and erosion from off-highway vehicle use. Motorized travel is allowed only on designated routes and cross-county travel is not permitted anywhere on the District. Damage occurs when off-road vehicle users go off the developed road, drive on the road when it is wet, creating their own roads. In the process there is considerable damage being done to the roadway, which is very expensive to repair. Drivers also become stranded at all times of the day and night. The following are exempt from this closure: Persons with a permit specifically exempting them from the effect of this order. Any Federal, State, local officer, or member of an organized rescue, or fire fighting force in the performance of an official duty. “This closure is for public safety, protection of road surface, protection of springs and water courses, and to repair resource and road damage,” added ROAD CLOSURE cont. on page 2 Ogden Valley Business Association Logo Contest The OVBA has received over 40 entries from the business logo contest.
