I think we're dwelling on this thing way too much without looking into the specifics of why they aren't working. Maybe they have a good cause. If there are that many of them sticking together, they've got to have a cause. If the government can seize control, it's a spooky thing! John W. Bird No way! I work, I don't see why they can't. But I think they should get that medical card. I've worked the mines quite a bit ' and I know what that means. They should make them people go back to work though. Suzi McMillan No! I don't feel that government intervention ever really solves anything. It has to be worked out between the miners and the company managers. A government solution would only be temporary. Warren YVyrick I don't, no. It smacks of big brotherism ! Winnie Perez I hate to see the government do it, but I think it's necessary to act like that sometimes, especially when a strike affects so many people. John W.

It is understood that at present the trail is being considered for use by non-motorized non-motorized traffic to include: cyclers, joggers, x-country skiers, walkers, etc. We sup port the above uses of the trail and especially feel that all motor traffic (i.e., motorcycles, snowmobiles, etc.) should not be permitted to use the trail. More importantly, however, we feel the trail should allow horse traffic. In general, the population of horse enthusiasts is at least equal to that of cyclists and the nature of the sport dictates dic-tates an even greater need for "off the road" access between the town and the outlying areas. Some main points to be considered are: Safety It is obvious that the only direct route for horse hor-se traffic between Park City and Snyderville is also the most dangerous i.e., Rt. 224. It is a terribly frightening experience to be riding on a horse which has been "spooked" because some thoughtless motorist has honked, yelled, or otherwise taunted horse and rider. Also, vehicle speed is excessive and not com-patible com-patible with horse traffic. Letter's to Mill THE'B Kespoit of Private Property Any direct route between the two areas that is safe is on private propertynot proper-tynot available to all riders. Fences are often disturbed for a desire to be safe rather than legal. Increased Horse Population Current zoning in the Holiday Ranch area will encourage horse population ' growth 'making' such an access trail even more important to our area! "' Area Appeal Such a trail that allows horses will encourage en-courage and enhance tourism especially since horsemanship is a very popular sport to the westerner wester-ner and to visitors to our area. It will also compliment current equestrian facilities planned for the Holiday Ranch area. Diversity A multipurpose multi-purpose trail can serve all facets of non-motorized traffic. traf-fic. Trail surfaces, of course, must differ, but the compatibility com-patibility of horse, bicycle, jogger, etc. is acceptable. Kquestrian facilities are. of course, our main interest and it is hoped that horse traffic will be included in the design of the "Multi-Purpose' ap- Reereational Trail We wouidLlike to encourage you to have an equine representative represen-tative on the planning committee. com-mittee. Your consideration and attention to this end would be greatly predated. Sincerely, Amanda Peterson Ray lngandella Dorrie Spurlock Buzz Warden P.S. Any persons . interested in-terested in supporting the above concerns, may do so by contacting any of the above chairpersons. Dear Sir: We at Park City High , School would like to express our profound appreciation to all those of the community who gave so generously of their time and effort in helping to make our recent Region XI Basketball Tournament Tour-nament such an outstanding success. The hosting of such a tournament tour-nament requires a great amount of effort, time and energy. We are deeply moved by the community response which we received. Without that support, our task would have been definitely more difficult if not impossible. We also wish to thank The Newspaper for the outstanding outstan-ding coverage and support which we received both during the tournament and the past season. The coverage treatment which you have accorded us, and ' the resulting interest among the team members and community, has played a significant role in the success suc-cess which we have enjoyed during the season just past. Sincerely yours, Jack Dozier Principal Dear Sir, . I am disgusted by the attempts at-tempts of the Greater Park City Company to sell parts of the golf course to development develop-ment groups. In my current occupation as a real estate salesman I have become aware of that company's attempts at-tempts to exploit past zoning and deed restriction oversights. over-sights. GPCC is trying to represent the golf course as something which can be altered or destroyed to accommodate ac-commodate housing developments. One would think that the new resort owners have prospered enough that they might be thinking about contributions they could make to Park City instead of ways to exploit the community. If the City Council does not take strong action in this matter, I am sure that its constituents will. Jim Doilnev Chamber Made In another effort to keep employes and tourists smiling, smil-ing, the Chamber is devoting this column to the "operational "opera-tional hazards of Park City's transportation system." We are aware, and we're certain you are, too, that the never ending question "When does the bus come" is about to drive employes and tourists alike bananas. Cold shuffling feet, missed ski lessons, cranked necks from search-. search-. ing and just plain frustration from waiting.. .hurrying up 3 thither. Hi i i m and waiting, waiting has driven us all nuts. So in a last "ditch" effort, we pinned new bus manager (brave soul) Ken Hummel down to an approximate schedule for the next spell. It was our thought that those exact times were probably more trouble than they were worth. ..so this schedule leaves a little open on each end with which to gamble (or get off the hook as the case may be). But really, the best part of the Submitted By The Park City Chamber of Commerce whole deal is Ken thinks he can do it! And is willing to compensate with any possible poss-ible system to keep everyone happy. He's got heart and courage (but even that won't keep equipment breakdowns from screwing up the schedule). sched-ule). As he says, direct your calls to Ken at 649-8515 if the bus schedule is less than satisfactory and he'll do his very best to correct the problem.. .(you've got a great attitude, Ken).
