Thia city haa been made Intoa nice place to live here une idytmr frbndlineaa and being an helpful in many waya lo bringing to ua the meana for all agea to have great recreational and educational facilitiea. It Iurn become a great place to build homea and live here In We all know and have relative aaf'-trt different level of aupport or for the many facilitiea, Thia ia written to encourage you to think carefully about the pert our beautiful golf courne pla.ya in recreation end economic value, Flrat, peotile id all agea can play golf on it and during off houra can turn it for a great place to take a walk (during golf time they may be hit with an errant hall). There are many aenior cilixena who enjoy playing on it daily and find a lot of fun doing it, many timee when familiee can gel off together they are aeen with dad. mom, and children of all agea playing, l'eopla from other local cilice and town are known to play here often end aome heve bought aeaaon peaaea end golf nearly every day, I hope no one would dream of tak-in- g it away from ua. Many people who are elderly, and perhape even aome-whcrippled can alill play thia great game. It ia alao the faateat growing a port In the world aa reported aome y time hack on a a porta network, aince Tiger Wnoda came on the at aape-ciall- The heeotiful homea that Imve been built and are atill being built at thia writing with two new orma under conatruction have added greatly to the tax haae nf Rooervelt, Many of jhoae that were built abmg aide the fairwaya would in all tikelilood have been tiuilt out in the county went nf the city or elaewhere to have open apace near their homea.

Another tiling that 1 believe ia moat important for ua all to look at la how it waa built. Local people it, local contractor from here and aurmunding areaa from aa far away aa Vernal, and Ducheane and donated their heavy equipment to level and haul anil from place to (dace to build It into a nice plant-ahend playable eurfaca, five pondaon the cnurae. Many individuele from many walka nf life put in countleae houra alao with pick and ahovel, wrench, welding torchaa, land levelera, hack-hne- a. hull doxera, huge land acrapera, etc. The many long trenchea built to burjr the aprinkling ayatem, I remember at one point a few of ua were atanding where 0 Ifi T box ia and 1 mentioned to a catmkinner and owner that 1 had been told it would take about three weeks to build a road up from to the 1 4 green. He aaid fuAhlng, but Jumped aboard his cat and had that road to grade in one hour and Vt minutes. It waa scary watching him, 1 have thought and discussed with many people that with that kind of volunteeriam we could do anything we went to dn aa far aa building facilities of any kind for any purpose hers, I personally saw donations that I hen-efita- of 18-ho- le The golf tournament sponsored tor the American Petroleum Institute (API I hringa 3A0 golfers to Roosevelt hy several local men and women each year. Many of them have family and friends come also. They spend money with the loral merchants and other businesses. They donate several thousand dollars to worthy causes from this one. The Uintah Raain Medical Center alao sponsors a real fine tournament from which they buy equipment for the hospital and give out scholarships that greatly help our community. The local college, and high school alao sponsor and have tournaments, aa well aa Moon Lake Electric, the Childrens Justice Center, Con A more .SdxNJ.g'Jf professionals from around the state, and others, 1 cant think of any other thing that hringa so many people in to visit ua with the exception or the schools. The UBIC brings many along with other celebrations to our parka and they alao sponsor a golf tournament. This ia to be a plea for the elected officials to look carefully at what our recreation facilities do for us before makingnnydecisbnsoncuttJngbsck on them. In talking with several people in Roosevelt 1 wee encouraged to write this letter, and before I commenced thia writing 1 did e little research to he as authentic ea 1 could. Let ua keep them ell In the beat condition we can. It would he another miracle if we could get the volunteers needed to build the proponed recreation center, and that would make it much easier to get building grants end other donations to help coos true! and furnish it, Leonard Ferguaon.your friend and fellow citixen in this community.
