She and her husband, Harvey Rawlinson, used to square dance at nursing homes and hospitals. They didn't consider it volunteer work, but others do and have included it in a long list of Hazel's service. For seven years, Hazel and Harvey made gingerbread ginger-bread houses for the Festival Festi-val of Trees, raising approximately approx-imately $8,000 for Primary Children's Hospital. In two of those years, Jon Huntsman Hunts-man Jr. bought them and donated them back to the hospital. "It was a whole village," Hazel said of their gingerbread ginger-bread entries, which included includ-ed houses, gazebos, a church with stained glass windows, ponds, skaters, railroad tracks made of candy canes and trees made of upside-down ice cream cones. There were lights inside 'be buildings and around the village. "We never considered it volunteer work," Hazel said. But it's on the list.

UTA has purchased the rail road right of way for sections of the line coming around the point of the mountain and down state street and the right to use other sections so it can expand TRAX light rail into Utah County. The master agreement with the cities involved has provisions provi-sions to prevent the cities .from requiring UTA to build park and rides or trail systems, or pay certain cer-tain fees, but it is supposed to be a reciprocal fee waiver. The council felt some of UTA's requirements amounted to a fee, and asked the mayor to work that with UTA. They also had some questions .about whether UTA's requirement require-ment for insurance coverage conflict with the reciprocal fee waivers. "That's part of the challenge," said Ellertson about getting the items done effectively. "I'm just going to make sure they happen." .;";' ' i mrl |
