A new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under Highway 89 east of Kanab in southern Utah has reduced vehicle collisions with deer.

John Hollenhorst, Deseret News

KANAB After a round-trip migration by several thousand deer, a new set of elaborate wildlife crossings under a highway in southern Utah is being labeled a qualified success.

But the experiment has not been without problems both animal and human in nature.

Last year, a partnership of government agencies built 12 miles of fencing and large wildlife underpasses to reduce vehicle collisions with deer on U.S. 89 east of Kanab in Kane County.

"I think the general perception is that it has been successful," said Kevin Kitchen, a spokesman for the Utah Department of Transportation.

Vehicle collisions with deer have been reduced substantially since deer began migrating under the highway instead of across it, Kitchen said.

The system of fences and underpasses is one of several designs being tried across the country as states try to reduce the costs of such accidents in dollars and deaths of deer and humans.

Surveillance images show that deer are sometimes skittish as they approach the underpasses, but most will eventually walk under the highway.

"The behavior of the animals is one of the things we really have to look at as we take a look at the design of these structures and fences and the different types of crossings," Kitchen said.

Deer crossings 'successful' but not perfect

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -

A man has been charged with driving under the influence and vandalism after he allegedly drove through multiple yards and two fences ineast Nashville early Monday morning.

According to an affidavit, Pedro Gutierrezdrove an SUV through a six-foot iron fence and then a four-foot chain link fence surrounding a home on the 1600 block of Lischey Avenue.

Both fences were destroyed.

Officers found Gutierrez, 23, hiding in some bushes at the home and he admitted to driving the vehicle, according to the arrest warrant.

Police said Gutierrezperformed poorly on field sobriety tests and told themhe dranksix beers.

Gutierrezwas given a breathalyzer test once he was booked into jail and blew a .233, which is almost three times the legal limit.

Two cold and unopened bottles of Bud Light were found inside the vehicle on the passenger floorboard.

The vehicle was towed to an impound lot.

Gutierrezwas also charged with not having a drivers license and leaving the scene of an accident after causing property damage.

Wojciech Jaruzelski, the expressionless Polish general behind dark glasses who imposed martial law in 1981 to crush the independent trade union Solidarity and nearly eight years later participated in the negotiated revolution that led to the fall of communism in Poland, died Sunday at a military hospital in Warsaw. He was 90.

A hospital spokesman announced the death. The general had a stroke this month and had previously been treated for cancer.

Jaruzelski, the scion of landed gentry, was deported to the Soviet Union as a forced laborer in 1941 and returned to Poland later in World War II as a committed communist in the ranks of the Soviet-created Polish First Army.

Starting in the 1950s, he rose rapidly in the military and political establishments of the new Peoples Republic of Poland. After the Soviet-backed governments fall in 1989, Jaruzelskis past was at the center of post-communist debates about historical reckoning and justice.

The iconic British clothing brand is opening their second Las Vegas store and their second largest store globally in The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. The stunning design and interior layout of the location required an innovative solution for AllSaints retail barricades from AGRetail.

Mike Wilson, director of operations for AGRetail commented, The installation for AllSaints was unique and complex. The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace are beautifully designed and we were challenged to provide a solution that was respectful to the surroundings, clean to install and that still offered maximum impact for the client.

Mr. Wilson went on to add, We are in the development stages of a lightweight and extremely strong alternative to traditional plywood and drywall barricades. Our barricade system ensured a cleaner and safer installation process with the same high impact graphical finish for the AllSaints brand.

Working over five evenings to avoid disruption to shoppers, the AGRetail team installed over 2,000sq ft. of graphics and their new barricade system to complete the retail barricades.

Tim Sharp, global director of store design and construction for AllSaints added, As a brand that values design and innovation, we are extremely impressed by the solution provided by AGRetail. The team at AGRetail were really respectful of our brand and delivered a solution that exceeded the expectations of our brief.

A time-lapse video of the retail barricade installation and completed AllSaints brand graphics can be seen on the AGRetail YouTube channel.
