I don't know how else to say it Swenson said he doesn't feel Ernie Helco, owner of Flight Air, knew anything about the situation. He said he feels Ernie was doing everything in his power to make the operation the best he could. However, Swenson said he still feels that Helco should have kept a closer eye on the situation in Roosevelt. With the termination of the contract, services at the airport will have to be renegotiated. Sorenson stressed that the City Council wants more than a place to stop and buy fuel. He said they want a fixed base operatw as well as mechanic services. We want more than a gas stop," said Swenson.

Both Sorenson and Luck said the Council will have to make a decision shortly regarding the management of the airport According to Luck, Jeffry Smith will be taking over the duties at the airport fw Flight Air until they complete their move from the facility.

These kids were all five and under. She was invited to talk to the Uintah Basin Handicapped Association about her life and accomplishments last week and the group met at the Ballard City building. Invited were not only the parents of handicapped children but the handicapped themselves. Sharon explained that her condition was not even known until she was seven months old and she described her childhood as wondering if she would ever be able to go to school with normal kids. I was more normal than they knew, she said. Once she entered school, the next wonder in her life was if she would ever be able to graduate. She endured the stares and pity of many people but before long she was making friends. Before her graduation students would offer to carry her books Sharon Ross works with Bryce Wyasket at West Junior high school. She is one handicapped person that Bernard Lucero, Roosevelt, found this 1901 dollar while hunting deer this year. There was some quarter old broken glass located near the coin. He plans a return trip to see what else he may find. "I just wished it were a gold piece," he stated. One person said the coin was worth OLD COIN! Sharon Ross explains non-existe- AT HER EMPLOYMENT! ft At her graduation she received a standing ovation from 600 graduating seniors in her class. "Some very special people helped me through those years, she explained. During her active years of being confined to a wheelchair, Sharon described her life as being quite enjoyable. She was able to ride horses, go rollerskating and surfing. She said that while she was surfing the boy that was helping her put her on the board and as he pushed her out in front of a wave said, hang on tight! She said that she hung on out of fear for as she could not swim. She rode the wave all the way to shore backwards. The next "wonder in her life was the idea of marriage and if that opportunity would ever cmne to ha. After a few years she was approached by a young man and after a time was married to him. Although she has no control over the lower parts of her body and one hand she was able to have two children, a boy and a girl, completely natural. Another accomplishment in her life was being honored as the first and in the Miss second runner-uWheelchair competition. While living in Cedar City, she complained to an editor of the local newspaper about being in a wheel chair and not being able to get anywhere in town. The editor could not believe it was that difficult being handicapped and when she challenged him to a day in the wheelchair, he accepted. This was one of the highlights of her life as she went around town with this normal person in a wheelchair and he received some first-han- d experience of a handicapped person. "We went into many back doors because of the stairs in the front of many buildings and the worst experience he had was when he couldn't even get into his own bathroom at work, she said. She addressed the "natural-barrie- r people have towards the handicapped. She said that it is not the stain and nmps that has to be fought but the issue of whether or not handicapped people arc human beings. We have feelings and needs, too. We love, cry, and can even express ourselves like any other person, she added. "It's strange to know how much have in common with you normal people, she continued. In her efforts to get some TV publicity for the Miss Wheelchair Contest one year, she said that one TV station told her "we don't cover these types of programs because they depress us. Needless to say they covered the next year's contest as she asked if the present TV programming was not depressing qnough. Another incident experienced was when a man followed her in and out of a couple of stores and as she was trying to get away from this man, he caught up to her, stopped and just stared at her for a minute. Sharon described the evil in the mans eyes as he started to shout, you ought to be ashamed of yourself! You are making me sick! All of you handicapped people make me sick! What are you even doing out in public? The local Handicapped Association continued the meeting and talked about ways of improving the image of the handicapped and the possibility of having nmps placed around Roosevelt so that wheelchairs could get up and down the curbs in town. Also lines could be painted to help almost totally blind people that use the streets in Roosevelt They also talked about having a Handicapped Awareness Day in the future involving the press and public officials in making the public more aware of handicapped people and the dose to normal lives they redly Kve. |
