The family of Maud Kimball A political retrospective To the Electorate: My four years of office as Summit County Commissioner haves now been completed. It has been a rewarding, engrossing and instructive experience. I've learned that Citizen participation is not only important, it is critical. Judgment is no better than knowledge, and the commission learned from every public hearing we conducted. Summit County is a very special place and it is vital that best-informed best-informed decisions be made when dealing with our problems and opportunities. Public support and participation are extremely important. Our local government would not function without the dedicated volunteers that generously donate their time serving as members of special service districts, planning commissions, search and rescue, cemetery boards, fair boards, emergency response teams, etc. These folks deserve our most sincere gratitude. ; Our courthouse functions well, generally.

Lands Association of Governments Status of Planning Participation their staff understand their responsibilities and are effective in carrying out their duties. We have a management problem because of all the urban development, which requires a much higher level of service than normally provided by county government, taking place in the unincorporated areas of the county. This problem is exacerbated by the extreme rate of growth we are facing. We need to do a better job in anticipating and dealing with the problems brought on by this growth. The form of governance study, to be initiated this year, will be extremely important to learn if there is a better way of doing business. All those who become candidates for public office make a major contribution to the public cause whether they win or lose. The campaign procedure plays an important role in educating the public about their government and the way it works. I congratulate all those who run for public office and urge others to become informed and consider getting involved. Three individuals with different backgrounds and perspectives can cometogether and work with great alacrity to accomplish the greatest good for the greatest number. There were often differences of opinion, and there were many heated debates during our commission meetings, but we always ended the day with respect for each other. I feel very fortunate indeed to have served with Sheldon Richins and Ron Perry. I feel ours was an extremely effective commission. Our area is very fortunate to have the Park Record and KPCW radio, both of whom work hard to inform the public of all sides of an issue. I very much appreciate the help JPmMic meetimi mlfoiranattnoiiii ffon tfliie week off JJamu 5-12 and support received from friends (some of whom I have yet to meet) and associates, my family, and particularly my wife and partner, La Verne. It has been an honor to serve as Summit County Commissioner for the last four years. Thank you for allowing me that opportunity. My sincere best wishes to the new commission for great success and accomplishments. Sincerely, Gene Moser Contestable opinions Editor: The Park Record's letter to the editor section is a wonderful forum for Park City residents to express their opinions. Some, however, do not want to be identified with their own beliefs and choose to hide behind an alias. I suspect this may be the case with the contestable opinions sent in this year by a "Sidney Lopperman." Last week, in a letter entitled "Abortion is killing," Mr. Lopperman responded to Ms. Zweck's positions concerning pro-life pro-life vs. pro-choice. While there are those who share Mr. Lopperman's pro-life positions, there are many, particularly in Park City, who concur with Ms. Zweck's philosophies. In my opinion, Mr. Lopperman's letter seemed more a personal attack on Ms. Zweck than a defense of the issue. Last spring, Mr. Lopperman wrote another letter to the editor entitled "Loves dogs, not owners." In this letter Mr. Lopperman took a PARK CITY COUNCIL MEETING SUMMIT COUNTY, UTAH JANUARY 5,1994 PUBLIC NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City Council of Park City, Utah will hold its regularly scheduled meeting at the Marsac.

ADJOURNMENT Posted: January 3, 1995 strong and controversial position that the 10 dog owners victimized in the Old Town poisonings last year were in fact the primary cause of their pets' deaths. This letter states "I have no sympathy for the owners of the poisoned dogs.. .they are lazy, selfish peoplc.not true animal lovers. ..they're lazy, inconsiderate, boorish slobs." Clearly Mr. Lopperman is a man of strong opinions, but who appears to otherwise keep a low profile in town. Based on comments in his dog-poisoning letter, Mr. Lopperman walks his dog and presumably lives in Old Town. I have spoken to many friends in the area and none are familiar with a Sidney Lopperman. I have found no listing in the phone book, directory assistance, or on the tax roles. Although not conclusive, I suspect the name Lopperman is an alias for someone unwilling to stand up personally for what they believe. In some forums, using an alias may be appropriate. However, I feel the Letters to the Editor section of the Park Record was never intended to be a platform of anonymity. How can an opinion have credibility when individuals are unwilling to be associated with their own beliefs. Natalie Dressen Support group Editor: The Huntington's Disease Awareness Group of Utah is trying to locate family, friends and individuals who are or could be involved with Huntington's Disease. Huntington's Disease cause deterioration of the brain neurons and since the 1993 breakthrough where the Huntington's Disease gene was discovered, it is one of the few genetically-linked diseases receptive to a predictive test Huntington's Disease is a renegade gene which derails the mental and physical functions of its victims. With the aid of our Utah support group, testing can now be done at the University of Utah Genetics Dept. Our support group meets every three months. For more information about the group, you can contact Clara Goudy, 754-3752, Jim Stringfellow, 292-1276, or Merla Gordon, 225-3104. The next meeting of the support group will be Saturday, Jan. 21. at 1 p.m. in the Provo Library, 425 West Center St., Provo. The speaker will be Randy Marchant from the Social Security Administration about benefits. Thank you, Merla Gordon Orem A clarification of open space Editor: I am hoping that the Park Record will be able to print my concerns regarding a recent article in the Wasatch Mountain Times. I have sent this article to the Times as well, hoping to clarify some undue confusion. Since I continually endeavor to have people and communities recognize that open space can be of value without being used or developed, this misquote needed to be rectified. In the Wasatch Mountain Times article, "Ozguthorpe," I was quoted as having said, " People are realizing more and more, open space is a usable asset." Suffice it to say, to me this is a contradiction in terms. I would contend that open space is an asset without being used. The unobstructed view of a meadow or wildlife habitat has value though often it is intangible. Having open lands, private or ' public, around us preserves the sense of place we all cherish in this community. Indeed open space can be used and used up, but it has value in the simplest essence untouched. Utah is in a crisis situation with respect to the preservation of our natural and open lands. Summit County is the second fastest growing county in the nation. If we are to save what little open space we have left, we need to pool all resources, public as well as private and we need to do it now. I cannot deny that I am concerned about the future of the Osguthorpe Farm. Permanent preservation is crucial as we all witnessed from the tenuous situation of Wasatch State Park. Still, I extend a deep appreciation to the perspicacity of the community and Park City Council and staff in taking a sizable piece of open space out of the market place exempting it from current development pressures.

We'd like to remind all enthusiasts, our customers included, that safe, responsible riding is not only recommended, it's a must. Snowmobiling has enjoyed a great rebound in popularity in recent years, a result of several factors: an improved economy, exciting new products and a desire by more people to get more fun out of winter. What this means, of course, is an increasing number of people on a trail system that now runs for more than 140,000 miles in Canada and the U.S. snowbelt. It also means a greater need than ever for people to show caution, common sense and respect for self and others. Bombardier Inc., manufacturer of Ski-Doo snowmobiles, believes as strongly as anyone that steps must be taken to ensure that snowmobiling remains a safe, family oriented activity, one enjoyed by more than a million people in the U.S. and Canada. In many states and Canadian provinces a person's driver's license is suspended if they are found operating a snowmobile while intoxicated. Younger and first-time snowmobilers are normally required to pass a certification test before they operate a snowmobile without adult supervision. Along with other snowmobile manufacturers we support "Steer Clear," a responsible riding program to reduce accidents caused by unsafe, irresponsible behavior. The emphasis is placed on personal responsibility to ensure a person's own safety and that of others. Through these and many other efforts, we work to remind all snowmobilers that the future of this sport is in their hands every time they start their engines. Most snowmobilers, we believe, accept this responsibility. Those who don't must change their ways or leave the sport to those who believe that safety can be synonymous with fun. Henry Lonski, vice president sales and communication Ski-Doo Snowmobiles Duffin clarifies his intent Editor: Having now received two calls regarding the Osguthorpe farm article in the January issue of the Wasatch Mountain Times, I realize, unforturnately, the tabloid has been picked up and read. Several weeks ago I set out to write an article for that publication about the status of the farm. My intent, and the tone of my draft, was to simply inform the public about what was going on, without pointing any fingers or laying blame. What was published was something completely different I submitted for publication an article which underwent final changes by the publisher without my knowledge. Much of the language in the article is not mine, and many of the quotes I originally wrote were changed. When it became clear to me that the essence of the article was going to be changed from simply informational, to sensationalistic accusations, I should have pulled out. That I didn't is certainly a mistake I have learned from. I am very sorry this has happened. I, of course, will never again write for that tabloid, and wish no further association with it. Please understand that the published article was not endorsed by the Mountain Trails Foundation, and in no way expresses its beliefs. Sincerely, Troy Duffin |
