Show Park Record Thursday, June 7, 1990 Page A15 (VRnriBSTOTnTni iwraiB Family recognizes recognition Editor: " - I would like to thank the Park City Historical Commission for recognizing recogniz-ing the efforts of restoration on our Park City home. Although we were turned down for a grant last year, our committment to Park City and the preservation of its history remains re-mains strong. We have been winter and summer visitors to Park City since 1977 and have always dreamed of becoming full-time "Parkites." Unfortunately our jobs are elsewhere. We feel lucky though, to be able to spend a lot of quality time in Park City. , So, being part-time residents and receiving the recognition for our efforts, ef-forts, really means a great deal to our family. Thanks again Bob, Jeri, and Bransf ord Briggs Gong show success Dear Friend-. M the Counseling Institute: In-stitute: The 3rd Annu Gong Show was an enormous success. The final amount of money that was raised has not yet been tallied, but I am sure that we reached our goal. Thanks to everyone that attended this fun evening, but most of all to the hardworking hard-working Gong Show committee. In addition, there are several people that deserve an extra special thank you Susan Monahan of Interiors in Park City, who arranged the display for the silent auction; Margie Siegel, -who was the stage director; Ron Siegel, general manager of the Olympia Hotel and Mike Hobbs, catering coordinator. ' To the kind merchants that gave so very generously to the Silent Auction Auc-tion I praise you. Each year I know that you get asked to give to so many good causes and it's difficult to choose which organizations to support. Thank you for choosing us. Our community is blessed with such a complimentary variety of shops, : hotels, sporting facilities and people with big hearts. This year our fundraiser grew from 170 to 325 people and the clients at the counseling institute are supported by this growth. For them, ( I thank you for the bottom' of my heart. Please plan to return to the 4th Annual Gong Show and I pro-.mise pro-.mise the sound will be better. With great appreciation, Susan Ruttenberg, chairperson 3rd Annual Gong Show The Couseling Institute . Concern for city, common denominator Editor: Last week's town meeting sponsored spon-sored by KPCW brought into focus some important issues for our community com-munity to address. Regardless of people's views, the common denominator was concern for Park City's future. : The invited speaker, Bill Stirling, Mayor of Aspen, Colo., used the term "carrying capacity" when comparing different limits on growth. Carrying capacity refers to the absolute limit ' on . natural resources such as water, land and air. By definition, carrying capacity can not be exceeded. I believe water is the bottom line in the growth equation. Whether or not there is water to sustain population popula-tion increases will be the question to answer. The other aesthetic and sub-' jective concerns like the "look" of the town, will take a back seat to the primary concern of water resources. Options that include pumping and piping water from distant watersheds water-sheds are now being investigated. Some will say that water is available at a price, but at what price and what is reasonable as far as diversions diver-sions go? Forget Aspen, ask, yourself: Do we want to be another L.A.1? . i'. When it is determined how much water is really available and what a reasonable cost for that water would be. Then we might establish some guidelines for population growth as tied to our own specific carrying capacity. We could let development run its natural course and then scramble to find water for it. But if this area becomes overpopulated and lacking in water resources we will be asking ourselves if the short lived economic benefits were worth it. Or maybe, just maybe, we will conclude that water is indeed finite and limit growth accordingly. For those interested in the long term, I think the choice is obvious. Qhris Erickson PC Community Coalition v Wanting to hear from country folk Editor: . Please don't put a mall in the country. - The Summit County Planning Staff held a public meeting May 24, at Landmark Inn concerning the Landmark Plaza project. Only a few people attended. I was very disappointed that all the people who moved to Park City to get out of the cities were not in attendance. at-tendance. On July 10 in Coalville, a decision will be made whether or not to have a clothing mall on 25 acres located between Powderwood and Landmark Land-mark Inn on Kilby Road. It will break my heart to see black top and traffic congestion next to the Hi Ute Ranch. I would like to hear from all of you country folks! Sharon Rino HiUteRanch Lucas missed his opportunity Editor: Ironically, James Lucas missed precisely the opportunity he called for in his May 31 Letter to the Editor an open forum involving all homeowners associations affected by the proposed Olympic ski jump and summer rock concert facilities at the old Gorgoza Ski Resort. On May 10, two Summit County commissioners, the county administrator ad-ministrator and over 20 people representing seven area homt. wners associations met to discuss our concerns. I personally invited Mr. Lucas to this meeting. He did not attend. Nor did he send a representative. Had he attended, he would have learned that: 1) Most people present support the Summit County Olympic bid ; 2) Most people were concerned, in particular, about the appropriateness ap-propriateness of locating adjacent to . their homes a 20,000 to 30,000 capacity capaci-ty stadium to be used for summer rock concerts, especially given the years of negative experience near Park West; 3) Many HOAs were surprised by the comissioners' choice of Gorgoza; a proposal that surfaced less than two weeks before the meeting and within eight weeks of when a final decision would be made ; and 4)Several associations planned to discuss the issues more fully with their members in upcoming meetings. Mr. Lucas is correct that the Pinebrook HOA Board does not represent him or the members of other homeowner associations in the area, a claim that we have never made. We do represent our members and have polled them about the ski jump concert stadium location. While most support Summit Sum-mit County's Olympic bid, 94 percent per-cent oppose locating the facilities in their front yards. The proposed concert con-cert use received the heaviest opposition. op-position. The Pinebrook HOA's public reaction reac-tion to an important public issue was entirely appropriate and responsible. responsi-ble. The date for the final Summit County location proposal, June 15, is just around the corner. Sincerely, . JoelBown, President " ' Pinebrook HOA Foundation closes first season Editor: v J The Park City Foundation for the Arts & Humanities closed its first season series of performances last week with an excellent performance by the Utah Opera Company. Other concerts included storyteller Michael "Badhair" Williams, Ja Hyeong Koo-pianist, BroughWolf Duo-vibraphone duo, acoustic jazz by the Jarman Kingston Quartet, and cowboy poet Ray Lashley with the Bunkhouse Orchestra. Readings were given by Utah writers Debra Monroe, Pamela Houston, Scott Cairns and David Lee. I would like to thank all those who have supported our efforts this year by attending the concerts and readings as well as sponsors, donors and volunteers who have given of their time and resources. Funding for this season has been from the Marriner S. Eccles Foundation, Utah Arts Council's Utah Performing Perform-ing Arts Tour, Literary Arts Program Pro-gram and Grants Program. Thanks goes to the Park City Community Com-munity Church, Park City Municipal ' Corporation and Park City Performances-Egyptian Theatre for providing space for meetings, concerts con-certs and readings. There was much cooperation in arranging perfor- mances and workshops at the elementary, middle and high schools. . A special thanks goes to Ron Georg at the Park Record for his timely articles and photos, KPCW and TV45 for public service announcements an-nouncements and interviews which informed the public of our events. I would also like to thank board members Alan Agle, Bob Haedt, Frank Harris, Laura Jenkinson, Charles Latterner, Judy & Joram Lichtenstein, Suzanne; Mclntyre, Gwen Mulder and Jim Santy for their dedication in seeing that this first season was a success. Our second season series of performances per-formances will include a variety of jazz, folk and classical music along with, lectures and readings by Utah writers. We look forward to another great season I Sincerely, Claudia F.Ward President Gong Show mission not impossible Editor: Thanks to the Board of Directors of The Counseling Institute;' the unbelievable Fund Raising Committee; Commit-tee; all the people who gave so generously to our successful Silent Auction; the wonderful people of Park City who continue to show their support to the Counseling Institute The Gong Show held at the Olympia Hotel June 2 was an overwhelming success. Because of the money raisedd from this event, the Counseling Counsel-ing Institute will be able to continue its mission. That mission is to provide professional profes-sional out-patient psychological counseling in Summit and Wasatch County at an affordable fee, which can be based upon the client's income. in-come. Persons who have emotional or relationship problems and who also face economic barriers, have the added ad-ded problem of finding accessible counseling they can afford. Although Park City itself has the highest per capita income in the state, resulting from affluent property owners of ski resort property, many residents do not share this affluence. For many, '"t employment is often temporary, and ' at minimum wage. We are proud to be able to offer services regardless t of the client's ability to pay basing fees on client's income or lack thereof. Space prohibits giving credit to all who made this evening such a success suc-cess but I need to mention the fund raising committee. For serval months mon-ths they worked their fingers to the bone for this event and should take particular pride in the fact that because of their hard work the Counseling Institute will be able to continue to offer counseling lo all people who need help but cannot afford af-ford to pay full fees. These hardworking hard-working dedicated people include Susan Ruttenberg, Chairperson, Kathy Caughran, Lisa Dawson, Linda Lin-da Graue, Sarah Jones, Jackie Piland, and Bev Steinke. I can not thank you all enough. The Counseling Counsel-ing Institute thanks each and every one of you, but more importantly, the people of Summit and Wasatch County thank you for enabling them to receive help that otherwise would not be available to them.

Thanks for showing the middle schoolers what the future can hold for them it was inspiring. Teacher Bill Hunke has done an incredible in-credible job with the band program. His endless hours of work show through and have paid off. Thanks, Bill, you have enriched the kids' lives and enriched the community. Nancy Witt, SydReed, Carol Shackelford Handy souls help restore cemetery Editor: At the risk of sounding like a broken record, the Glenwood Cemetery is looking better every year. This is what many people keep telling us. The contract to complete the fence project has just been let and thanks to a special donor, two meditation benches have been installed. in-stalled. The clean-up days were a success due largely to the leadership efforts of Eagle Scout Don Frerichs, the Scouts from Troop 72 and a few other handy souls. Our special thanks go to Wasatch Rental for giving us free use of power tools and to General Contractor Chris Nelson of Euromni Design who not only helped with the clean-up but volunteered to re-erect and straighten some of the monuments. In recognition of the volunteer efforts ef-forts of many individuals, the Glenwood Glen-wood was again awarded a Salt Lake Tribune Certificate of Appreciation.

Two of our county commissioners, com-missioners, Jim Soter and Sheldon Richins, and Cris Schulz, the county administrative assistant, spent over two hours answering questions about the proposed ski jump sites. It was a very informative meeting and we all appreciated the commissioners commis-sioners time. This meeting also turned out to be an excellent opportunity for all the above mentioned communities to organize and form a network for future issues that arise in this end of the county. Several other issues not pertaining to the Olympics were discussed. Had you or a representative attended at-tended the May 13 meeting you would have been informed by Cris Schulz that the possibility of a summer sum-mer concert series (i.e. Park West) was very strong for the new sports park. The overwhelming majority of residents in Pinebrook Estates don't relish the thought of dealing with that kind of traffic, noise, etc. Jim Lucas have you ever tried to drive in or out of Park City on a Park West concert evening? Do you read the Park Record accounts of the criminal activity associated with some of the concerts? Have you experienced ex-perienced the decibel level associated with the concerts? Noise travels even easier in this thin moi ' air and they use speakers a little iiii- powerful than the living room variety. Won't it be fun when we have people hiking over the ridge from our neighborhoods so they can duck the admission fee? (There will always be a few.) Finally, regarding your statement that we should have "ample time to discuss and review the facts" about the ski jump: Time is running out! If you had attended the meeting you would know that the county must submit their proposed site bids by June 15, 1990. I would suggest you become more aware of the things happening in your own neighborhood if you are to represent the Ranch Condo Homeowners with any degree of effectiveness.
