I am dismayed and alarmed at e sand Bountiful Citys approach to skateboarders and inline skaters in our area. 1 am aware that there are some skaters who have on occasion caused damage or head-in-th- problems. As with any youth activity, this is wont to happen, and e should be dealt with on a basis as infractions occur. But grew up in Salt Lake City and have also lived with my husband and five children in San Diego, California and Helena, Montana. I am a composer and an office manager and rarely write such a letter as this one, but feel I cannot remain silent in the face of an abuse of I am also personally aware of dozens of young peolaw-abidi- ple who spend a great deal of time on their skates: 1) improving their motor skills (1 Davis County Clipper dont know, Mr. Hardy, if you have ever gone up on or a board, but it is a difficult, concise and exacting art), 2) receiving aerobic exercise, and 3) staying out of trouble (one issue obviously overlooked in your ruling - it is impossible for a child to es be smoking, drinking, injecting, painting graffiti, or breaking and entering while he or she is skating!)

This puts them far front home and often around rowdy influences that we do not have in Bountiful. We, ourselves, moved to Bountiful from Salt Lake City in the first place to avoid some of the larger urban areas problems. Did you think young people would stop skating just because of your ruling? What has happened instead is that you are sending them off as outcasts to other cities - cities that also have found some problems with a handful of skaters, but realized an infringement upon the civil rights of the w hole would occur by outlawing boards and blades. I strongly urge Bountiful City to reconsider this extreme ruling. That we are the only city on the Wasatch Front to adopt such a singular statute should be very telling. Other cities have voted down similar proposed ordinances precisely because of the inequity of them. If a few skaters are causing the problem, why not target and fine those involved instead of banning the sport for all other innocent i i OOP CHOICE Ruth Gibbons Stoneman Public Notice Advertising Protects Your Right To Know NOTICE OF JOINT PUBLIC HEARING (City Council of the city of North Salt Lake and Board of Directors of the Redevelopment Agency of North Salt Lake ) NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of the City of North Salt Lake, Utah, (the City) and the of the Board Directors of Redevelopment Agency of North Salt Lake (the Agency") will hold the first of two joint public hearings on Sept. 5, 1995 at 7:00 p.m. or as soon thereafter as is reasonably feasible, in the City Council Conference Room, 20 South Hwy 89.
