However, we ask that those letters let-ters adhere to the following guidelines: They should be submitted to the Newspaper office at 419 Main Street, or received in the mail (P.O. Box 738), no later than noon Tuesday. They must be signed. They must not contain libelous material. We reserve the right to edit letters let-ters if they are too long for the space available, or if they contain statements which we consider unnecessarily offensive or obscene.- It gets better every year Editor: Five years have seen significant development of a race we call the Park City Ride and Tie. Each year the contestants con-testants get better, it seems. More people know what a Ride and Tie race is, and the great physical demands it places upon horses and runners. This year's race, the fifth annual Park City Ride and Tie, registered 39 teams, a new record. In 1984, the Levi's Ride & Tie will be hosted in Park City, with over 100 teams expected expec-ted to enter. We couldn't have achieved this mark of success and recognition without a lot of effort from our volunteers over the years. A special thanks to this year's committee commit-tee who worked very well as a team, to host a great race: Al Horrigan, Ray Robidoux, Kathy Morris, Charlene Nestel, Bill Anderson, Vicki Ross, Utah Amateur Radio Operators Club, Sandra Jackson, Julie McKay, Susan Dudley, Jim Kennicott, Chief Vet Dr. Buzz Marden (and his veterinary crew including Drs. Keith Lund, Kevin Hill, Robert Poulson, and M.J. Dolcort), Park City EMTs, Pam Sandberg, Beverly Gray, Mary Coehlo, Ralph Wadsworth, Ken Clausen, and Bonnie Bedford. Thanks also to the League of Women Voters for coordinating the barbeque, and to all of our sponsors, contributors, trail marshals and special project volunteers who assisted in making this year's race a success. With much appreciation, Richard Dudley, chairman, fifth annual Park City Ride and Tie KPCW says thank you Editor: On behalf of the staff and volunteers of KPCW, I would like to thank those who helped make KPCW's 2nd anniversary an-niversary dance a success. First, much thanks to Jess Reid, Rick Cline and the members of the Men's Coalition in inviting KPCW to make our celebration part of the July 4th festivities. Thanks also to Nile Harbertson and the Park City Holiday Inn for letting us use the tennis courts next to Adolph's, free of charge, to host the event. Without the donated time of the bands, there would have been no celebration, and we'd like to express our appreciation to Alias, Caribou and Dr. Rock, all of whom put on a great show. Last, but certainly not least, the following volunteers helped put it all together: Boyd Putman, Wayne Put-man, Put-man, Carol Querry, Digger, Dan Christians, Leann, Lloyd and Honor High, and Peter Fivas. And, of course, much thanks to all the Park City residents who turned out to show their si tport for the "Volunteer "Volun-teer Voice." Thanks to the , we're two years old and still making waves. Sincerely, Blair Feulner, president and general manager, KPCW What do you do if your dog is missing? Editor: First of all let me state that I strongly strong-ly believe in animal control. However, after a heart-breaking experience last week I feel I must take some action to prevent others from the same unnecessary un-necessary heartache. I know of no other method of releasing my frustration and anger than to write let ters. I only hope someone is taking the time to read this! Undoubtedly, you'll be a dog lover. Our daughters have been staying in our condominium in Park Meadows and working in Salt Lake for the summer. sum-mer. Last week they asked if they could take their dog back up with them (since there are "so many dogs to play with, running loose"). The next day by noon my daughter came to work and said the dog was missing. We immediately im-mediately called information to ask for the listing of animal control in Park City. There is none listed! We then decided someone must have wanted a friendly golden retriever awfully bad. What else can one think when there is no animal control in a community? Even then we kept expecting the dog to reappear, hoping she had just taken a long walk. I am sure by now the rest of the story is obvious. We did learn by accident several days later that a "few" dogs are picked up by someone out of Summit. Sum-mit. However, by then it was too late and the girls were told, "the dog with the blue scarf around its neck was put to sleep yesterday." I do not expect to gain anything from writing this letter my daughters' broken hearts can't be mended that easily. The point I am trying to make is animal control should be listed with the telephone company. A tourist could lose their dog in Park City but have no way of getting any information. infor-mation. We tried finding our dog in the only way we knew how posting lost dog signs in the area, looking through the lost and found in the newspapers and calling information. After rereading the above I realize that I don't really feel any better. In fact, I get sick to my stomach each time I think of our friendly dog going excitedly to the "dog catcher". A scarf around its neck obviously it was loved and taken care of. I agree it was our fault because there are lease laws. But please ... make information available to others! Thank you for your time. Carole Christensen Editor's note: The animal control officer can be reached by calling 649-9561 (Park City) 336-5561 (Coalville) or 911 (Kamas). Park City should be proud Editor: Please print this letter because it is one more way I can say thanks to some very important people, starting with the Park City Fire Department, whom, I am certain, prevented The Eating Establishment from being totally destroyed by last Wednesday's fire. Not only did they save the building but they demonstrated the utmost respect for personal property in fighting the fire with minimal damage, water in particular. Not only did they do their job professionally and efficiently, they managed to show me the concern and courtesy of good neighbors. We should all be proud to live in the same town with these people who give their time and energy as well as risk their health for our benefit. I would also like to thank all my friends who stopped by or called to offer of-fer assistance or good wishes. Especially John Demkowicz of Alliance Alli-ance Engineering who provided electricity elec-tricity to keep air fans and freezers running, and Mary Lou Toly who, in addition to providing coffee and donuts to the firefighters, has made sure the repair crews have been well fed. Speaking of repair crews, I can't thank John Peck (general contractor) enough for arriving on the scene before the fire was even extinguished and working evenings Saturday and Sunday, Sun-day, as well as enlisting the aid of subcontractors, sub-contractors, Jerry Peretti, Reid Seiverts, Bob Jarvis and Scott Richards Rich-ards so we can open on Saturday. I can't forget my loyal employees who have helped and been supportive in every way. Last but not least is of course our customers who make it all worthwhile. I only hope they miss us as much as we miss them. Sincerely, Sherwin Baron An art center, or a museum? Editor: I know this has all probably been said before, but I am very disillusioned with the Kimball Art Center. I have Newspaper Classified Advertising It doesn't cost. .. 'T PAYS! $ been going down there on and off for some time to use their studio space. The last time I went I was greeted by the director of the art center reminding remin-ding me to pay my $1.00 an hour studio fee. Well, as I left I thought to myself, what have I gotten out of this? For one, the equipment I used needed a lot of work, making it almost impossible to work on my piece. Also the "studio space" was more like a store room. There was no room to even move without bumping into something. As I talked to the director about getting get-ting the equipment fixed, she reminded remin-ded me over and over about this being a nonprofit organization. Great, but where does all of my $1.00 an hour go? The studio rooms down there are like morgue. What a shame with all of the talented people in town! It seems to me that the locals should be treated with more respect so the facilities can be used as they were designed to be. The Art Center reminds me of a museum, or even a library at times. Where's the noise, the laughter, the artists ar-tists working in an artistic community? com-munity? Is this center only a gallery or a working area for people who need the space to create? I guess I'll have to resort to what other artists are doing working with limited facilities at home or joining other organizations. The KAC has really done a good job of keeping local artists at a distance.
