If so, you're exactly the type of person Division, of Wildlife Resources biologists are looking for. This spring, wildlife biologists will do on-the-ground projects to help mule deer and other wildlife across Utah. And they need your help. The work can be somewhat strenuous," says Blaine Coxt the DWR's volunteer coordinator in southwestern Utah. "But it's very rewarding to stand back at the end of the day and see what youVe accomplished." You can help on a variety of projects. For example, in past years, volunteers have helped thin pinion and juniper trees. They've also built structures that allow deer and elk to escape from a highway if they find themselves too close to a road. There are several ways to leam about projects and to sign up to help: Projects across Utah At http://go.usa.gov/4on, you'll find a list of volunteer projects across Utah. When you arrive at the Web page, you'll see that the projects are divided into categories. Just click on the category you're interested in, and a list of all of the projects in that category will pop up. The list is updated as new projects are added. You do NOT need to be part of the Dedicated Hunter program to volunteer. Southwestern and south-central Utah If you're interested in volunteering for a project in south-central or southwestern Utah, there are two ways-in addition to http://go.usa.gov/4on-that you can leam more about the projects: Call Blaine Cox at (435) 865-6100 or visit him at the DWR office at 1470 N. Airport Road in Cedar City. Cox maintains a list of projects that are in the works. He'd also be happy to help you complete the form you need to complete to volunteer for a DWR project. You can visit the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources: Southern Region Dedicated Hunter page on Facebook. Lynn Chamberlain, regional conservation outreach manager with the DWR, says the page provides information about volunteering for the DWR. "You'll ajso find projects listed that may not have made it to the division's website yet," Chamberlain says. "Feel free to look around while you're there and get a feel for the action the DWR is taking to help the herds." Finally, if you have a project in mind that you think would help deer in southwestern Utah, you can fill out a project proposal form and submit it for review. The forms are available at the DWR's office in Cedar City and at the DWR's new field station at Quail Creek Reservoir northwest of Hurricane. Biologists will review the form after you've completed it. The biologists will use DWR guidelines to rate your idea on their project list.

He's always kept to himself. His wife, too. Oh, there have been rumors that she may give Martin a hard time at home, but you know how rumors are. Martin retired from the Field Ranch a while back after about 40 years. After that, we'd see him out walking or maybe fishing a little along Lewis Creek. Then one day in September, Martin found his new career as a crossing guard down next to the elementary school. He got a blaze orange vest, a paddle sign with "stop" on one side and "slow" on the other. And they gave him a whistle. Oh yes, the whistle. At first, when a child was spotted a block away, Martin would trot out to the middle of the intersection, blow his whistle, hold up his paddle and turn it around so everyone saw "stop," regardless of where you were. And we'd wait until some third-grader got safely to school. Then we were waved on through. And with each wave of Martin's hand there was a blast on the whistle. Oh yes, that whistle. The school sure picked the right guy for the j6b. If you want someone who can stand out there every morning in heat and rain and snow and spring winds, just look for an old cowboy. Martin took all his "tough lessons" ages ago. The problem Martin was having, however, was that he had more time than children, and that led to his current trafficcontrol methods. He watches carefully, and if a car is coming from a right angle, he steps out and blows the whistle and stops us. And if the car slows, Martin waves him on whether he wants to go that way or not. And that's when there aren't any kids around. But no one complains. He's there early, he'd stop a train to let kids cross the street, and he works for free. So what's a few whistle blasts and marching orders among friends? You have to admire professionalism wherever it is found.

I'm Proud to Be ; an American By Kelby Brads haw, American Legion Auxiliary Essay Contest Winner "I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I gladly stand up, next to you and defend her still today." Do we really feel that way, or is it just a song to sing for a school program or when we mourn the loss of a soldier? We can all show pride in being an American by getting involved, and not hiding ourselves from what is happening in the world around us. I have found several ways to get involved in government and my community. I had the amazing opportunity to attend Utah Girts State and I now serve on the Youth City Council. I would highly recommend these activities to anyone who needs a crash course in our government and how to appreciate it, as I did. In the course of six days, I came to love and appreciate, more than ever, my country and its government. We had sensational speakers to teach us about how our government works, and moving videos and presentations of those who have made what we have possible. I now feel such a deep and more profound gratitude for those willing to give their lives so I can live mine. I learned so many things about our flag, and IVe never looked at it the same since. After this experience, I joined my local Youth City Council. A Girls State background has made it exciting for me to sit in on actual meetings with our local government officials to plan things for our community. I would strongly encourage every Junior to apply for Boys and Girls State, and encourage younger kids to look forward to this experience as well as being involved in youth government programs. The next way I would encourage patriotism would be to recommend not turning our backs on what is happening in the world around us. I think the best way for students my age and even younger to develop pride and love for our country Is to show them what is happening in other countries. Most teenagers aren't going to watch the five o'clock news, so I think it would be extremely valuable to have a time set apart everyday to show the students what is happening around the world. More than likely, fifty percent or more of our high school doesni know what is going on in Iran or Egypt. Why hide it? Showing the destruction and deterioration of other countries is the best way to instilf in students a pride and love for what our country has.. The best way I can encourage my peers to show pride in our country is to set an example of playing an active role in my community and tefling them of my experiences. We can all get involved whether it is^tfarticipatIng in Girls or Boys Stale, being a part of Youth City Council, or just saying the Pledge of Allegiance with pride and respect. This way instead of just singing a patriotic song, we can live i t /s/ Kelby Bradshaw, American Legion Auxiliary Essay Contest Wlnnej; .. --£• |
