Show Wednesday, November 1, 1978 Candidates Address Continued from Page 1 problems,". Young continued. "I intend to attack them with honesty and an open mind and try to find the answers. You have to take into consideration that there are two other men sitting on that commission, and you have to try to convince them you're right. I won't be able to go in there and turn over any big stones, but I intend to try to do a good, fair job." Young will be pitted against independent indepen-dent Bruce Decker and Democrat "Dutch" Woolstenhulme in next week's election. Wendell Woolstenhulme Wendell "Dutch" Woolstenhulme, a 44-year-old Oakley resident, noted Thursday evening that "where there's taxation, you need representation." He noted that he has been in business 18 years and said, "If I'm elected, I will support the county as a county of people, rather than special interest groups." , On Monday, Woolstenhulme said his taxation comment at Thursday's meeting "was on behalf of Bruce (Decker)." The democratic candidate previously has noted his resentment that Decker is running for the two-year commission term. He apparently feels a gentleman's agreement agree-ment that Kamas, Coalville and Park City commission candidates rotate bids for the four-year and two-year terms has been broken. Woolstenhulme said his campaign has revolved around problems concerning con-cerning growth, roads and garbage collection. "We're going to have growth whether we like it or not," the candidate said. "But we need to be real strict with the planners and uphold the ordinances. And we can improve the roads and the garbage system. The commission can get things functioning right by people coming to the commission with their complaints and suggestions." "As a person, I'm an honest man and I want an honest government, and the only way to do that is to run it by the letter of the law," Woolstenhulme noted. The candidate said the turnout at candidates night "was a disgrace. It's a shame more people are not interested." He continued that he has spent time going door-to-door and attending public meetings. "I feel I will get along fine with the other commissioners and will fajK!?A3ci represent all the people in the county," Woolstenhulme said. In the race for the four-year County Commission seat, Republican Bill Wallin and Democrat Lloyd Stevens will face off in next week's election. Bruce Decker At Thursday night's meeting, Decker commented that his five years' full-time experience in public office would allow him to "do the best job of the three of us running." The 28-year-old Park City resident noted that "unprecedented growth is affecting the entire county, and most of it is in this area." He continued that growth insures a healthy tax base, but the costs of developing subdivisions outweigh the benefits to the tax base. He noted that a two-percent impact fee on new buildings allowed taxes in Park City to be lowered seven mills in the last four years and said he would push for a similar arrangement to Disco Contest Will Hilight Snowflakers' One of the highlights of the Chamber of Commerce's Snowf laker's Ball, set for Friday night, November 10, will be a disco contest sponsored by Community Wireless for Park City, the town's incubating FM radio station. The disco competition will feature a 70s disco dance-off with prizes and trophies awarded for the first, second and thitd place' finishers. Also featured will be mini contests representative of the 40s, 50s and 60s, with awards for "Best Costume" and "Best Era."

Tickets for -the winter kick-off event are $7.50 per person and can be purchased at the Chamber office or at The Newspaper office. avoid tax increases in the county. Contacted Monday, Decker commented commen-ted that the previous geographic representation on the county commission is "an unaffordable luxury. The county must choose it's three most qualified men.. .they must all be for the county and responsible for every person in it. It's the only way progress will replace infighting, and every person in the county will benefit from it." Decker previously served Park City for five years as City Recorder and Budget Officer and currently is the manager of the Snyderville Basin Sewer District. "I decided to run for the two-year commission seat to protect myself and Summit County's existing residents resi-dents from having to pay for growth," Decker said.. Bill Wallin Wallin said Thursday night that "the development code has solved some problems in the county and the consolidation of health services has begun to show some progress in that area." He noted that there should be a continued effort to improve zoning and planning in the county to cope with growth. He noted Monday that the county pay system needed attention, perhaps rewarding workers for productivity rather than scheduled raises. "And the roads are a problem, and always will be anytime you build in this climate," Wallin said, adding that if elected, he intended to attack the problem. Wallin said he has campaigned all over the county, not favoring one area over another. "My campaign seems to be coming along alright. I'm stressing the same pointsgrowth, roads, etc., all the time," the 42 year-old incumbent said. Lloyd Stevens Park City restaurateur Lloyd Stevens noted Thursday night that "there are problem makers and problem solvers, and I'm a problem solver." Stevens, who was born and raised on an Oakley farm, said he is concerned with the future of farming. He noted that investors collecting interest on idle land are deriving higher profits than those actually farming the land. Stevens also pointed to the ill repair of roads in both the state and the coiyity, and said he intends to ease the proalem if elected. "I believe in utilitarianism," Stevens said. "We don't need to buy a lot of new things to upgrade the standard of living. We need to utilize what we have to make life better." Stevens said he feels optimistic about next week's election, which coin-cidentally coin-cidentally falls on his birthday. "A thinking person should elect the person he thinks is best qualified, regardless of the party he belongs to," Stevens said. National Candidates Also in attendance at Thursday night's "Meet The Candidate" gathering gather-ing were representatives for District I congressional candidates Republican Jed Richardson and incumbent Democrat Rep. Gunn McKay. The Republican representative stressed Richardson's concern over inflation and his dedication toward thwarting it. The McKay representa Vote Yes The South Summit School District Board of Education has decided to hold a bond election on November 7, 1978. This is to provide 2.9 million for a building program. Our bonding agents and bonding lawyers have informed us this bond election could be held, and the property in South Summit after a boundary change could be used for collateral. However, they also have informed lus that all taxpayers presently in the district have the legal right to vote on the issue. Therefore, the South Summit Board has prepared the legal resolutions that states the bond election is only valid if there is subsequent boundary boun-dary change. If there is no boundary change, the bond election is null and void. Put another way, if the bond election is successful, the only time South Summit will be able to sell the bonds is after af-ter the Bonding Lawyers (Chapman and Cutler) investigate into the boundary change and legally state the boundary line has been changed according to present agreements between Park City and South Summit School Districts. If you vote YES on the ballot, it does not mean you are encumbering the area under consideration con-sideration for transfer from South Summit into Park City! ! It does mean, however, that you are permitting the people in South Summit to encumber en-cumber their own property after a boundary change for a building program ! WE SOLICIT YOUR YES VOTE! ! Morlin Van Tassell, President South Summit Board of Education Juanita Stembridge, Vice Pres. South Summit Board of Education Issues tive noted the democrat's success in attracting government funding for Utah projects, as well as his dedication to President Carter's campaign to halt inflation by curbing government spending. Glade Sowards Incumbent State Senator Glade Sowards pointed to his five years in Utah government and noted that his expertise was in energy. He noted that District No. 26, which includes Uinta, Summit, Wasatch, Duchesne, Daggett and Morgan Counties, "is a tremendous tremen-dous district in size. ..but the service we render is the rent we pay for life on Earth." HalSchlueter Opposing Sowards is Democrat Hal Schlueter, who noted Thursday night that "reducing taxes is the law of the land now. ..but we need to do it in an orderly way to protect and not cripple the government and its services." The 60-year-old Schlueter sympathized sympa-thized with elderly citizens on fixed incomes having to cope with inflation and high taxes, suggesting that senior citizens not be made to pay property taxes. "After all my years of living, I feel I can justly represent you and your problems," Schlueter said. State Representative Running for State Representative, District No. 66, are Republican Glen Brown and Democrat Penny Davij. Brown said Thursday he "represents the average taxpayer and citizen in this district. This is not a one-issue legislature. It is important to evaluate and make proper judgements considering consi-dering all the issues." s "For South Summit and Park City, I will help try to put together things acceptable by the Legislature. I will do my best and work to help you choose our course and destiny," Brown said. Democrat Penny Davis noted the declining quality of education, calling for an end to the "open" class and a "return more to the basics." The 29-year-old former teacher said she opposes the consolidation of the three Summit County school districts and will "work to stop passage of the Equal Rights Amendment. " Mrs. Davis pledged to assist the elderly and to lower taxes. "I'm truly interested in representing my constituency," Mrs. Davis said. "This Whore area has been neglected," ne-glected," she noted of District 66, which includes Summit, Morgan, Rich and parts of Weber and Davis counties.
