Show I Pago 2 Vedncsday, September 29, 1976 , -. - m Letters to the Editor Bus Routes To Richard LGoodworth Superintendent of Schools . "' .'. . tj - .' Concerning your letter that appeared in last week's Newspaper. First of all, your method of communicating with the residents of Hidden Cove and Sunrise Hills in a newspaper column is quite novel; and seems to add more importance, to a detail of your bus system, than is necessary. But since, you've chosen the public print media as your vehicle of communication communi-cation you're certainly due a similar response and we . therefore submit the following follow-ing . . ; ; Your apparent : concern . about the five school age children who reside in our area and your inclement-. inclement-. weather-transportation-dilemma is appreciated, but we're puzzled. From your letter we take it that the relatively straight and level half-mile, or so, of Freeway frontage road from the Jeremy Ranch exit to the bus stop-turn around area is a problem for your bus drivers at times during the winter months. This is what puzzles us; how do the bus drivers negotiate the obviously more treacherous (steeper and winding) . Summit Park roads, during the winter months, but can't make it to Hidden Cove? We do have some questions about your proposals. I -supose there's merit in each of the proposals you've made, but none of them are foolproof in the sense of avoiding problems concerning concern-ing the children's safety and health. You say on hazardous days alternative bus routes-stops routes-stops will be used. Who's to decide when this will be done, you? sitting in your office on asun street or tne bus driver stuck in a ditch waist-deep in snow? What we're attempting to bring out here, superintendent, is that personal judgements about something as arbitrary as winter weather conditions, and how they affect the transportation of school children is at best hazardous. Likewise, .attempting to communicate in a "Letter to the Editor" column can be equally hazardous to lines of direct communication. Content and sincerity can take on misinterpretations ' not meant by the writer and .therefore if your schedule will permit we'd like to suggest a meeting to discuss this matter. For, if snow conditions condit-ions are so severe that a bus cannot negotiate a relatively good road, we certainly do not want our children dropped dropp-ed off at a Ranch Exit two miles from home. Sincerely, Sam Coleman ; Ralph Hottinger Dick Mapstone More Airport To the Editor; The letter in last week's edition concerning the Summit-Park City airport con-, tained a number of errors and misconceptions. I shall try ' and correct them here. Although the letter states the airport will cost "530,000 to buy the land and build" I don't believe this is true. According to the county auditor's Financial Statement, State-ment, published in the Summit County Bee of May 6, 1975 (Because of delays only $363.40 has been spent). This figure is more than double the figure used in last week's letter. Therefore, Summit County's share of the airport comes to about $30,000 which for our county's size is a large amount of money. (Park City's Share is about $30,000). The entire Summit County budget is barely over a million dollars, so the airport alone would cost' more than an entire year of operating Summit County. Although, as the letter indicated, the majority of the funding would come from Federal and State funds, it is still the American taxpayers, including us, who will pay for the project. I've said it before, and I'll say it again: About the only people who would use the airport would be a few wealthy, out-of-town skiers. We have a International Airport less than 20 air-miles away, from Park City. The argument that "we can keep the skier on this side of the Wasatch" is ridiculous. Park City, by road is closer to the Salt Lake City International airport than any of the Salt Lake ski resorts are. Plus we have a well-maintained high- compared to the winding, narrow roads that lead to Alta and Brighton. Most skiers that fly to this area to ski take commercial airlines, not private planes. Thus, even if we had a Summit-Park City Airport, they would still have to fly into Salt Lake. Once they get to Salt Lake, it. would be faster and cheaper for them to travel by road transportation transporta-tion than by air to Park City. By the time people change planes, wait for takeoff, fly over the mountains, circle to land, and then travel from Silver Creek to Park City, they could have come faster' by road. Now really, Mr. Willard, "every citizen of Park City, Summit County and the State of Utah" will not use the airport. Ninety-nine per cent of Summit County would never use such an airport. Only a very small handful of people in the county own planes. And I really don't believe thousands thous-ands of "tennis players" would be flying into Park City to play tennis.

What did you think of the first of the three acheduled Presidential debates last week? Chuck Folkerth Although Ford seemed to win the coolness department, Carter still came out on top with his stand on the issues. The next two debates should be better. The jitters shouldn't play a part from now on. Wayne Iverson I missed it. I watched professional wrestling instead. Sherri Hardesty They were more into getting down on each other than anything and it defeated the whole purpose of the debate. John Elwell I've been fooled so many times by politicians that I'd rather judge them on their deeds rather than on their words. Joan O'Connor They really confronted each . other with facts that usually just contradicted what the other person said. I also thought it was strange how they never looked at each other while they were only a few feet away. To me it didn't really prove that much since all , they did was assault each other with what great things they did as governor and president. I thought Ford did the better job, Carter just didn't seem sincere. Lu Ann Watson I think they were a farce because they really didn't hit the issues. I was excited to find out about Carter's platform and when it was all over I didn't know anymore 1 about him than I did before.

And there are not many of them. And if there are not many of them, I have serious questions that the airport could maintain its own cost of operation. Finally, Mr. Willard states "ours is the only county in Utah without an airport." Without checking into each and every county, I know this cannot possibly be true, for I used to live in Woodruff, and I know for certain Rich County has no airport. There is something seriously wrong with our local government if they can find money to build an airport, but cannot find money to maintain roads in decent condition. Who is out of step?
