Exist with nature, don't overpower it Editor: Upon hearing and reading of the proposed Jordanelle Dam project, I have been very much concerned for all in nature. As I have road various articles, I cannot help but realize the tremendous need for an alternative "way of life" in seeking a more unselfish and simple life in nature, not only for ourselves today, but the future for all of nature! ' Today in our consumptive and materialistic world we are continuously continuous-ly exploiting nature to meet our present day greed and selfish interests. There is a great deal of talk of the "benefits" of such a dam ... (and other similar projects). Are there really "benefits" and is there truly a need or justified physically and morally! We "need" not more water, oil, gas, mass development, and the like as we reap nature for materialistic gains, but rather demand for nothing short of a "reform and new global ethic in education and way of life" as presented by the United nations in the Belgrade Charter of 1975. We must be re-educated or worse, unfortunately educated to the natural ways and that Dlanet Earth is a finite system. For there to be a future for ail of nature, not merely ourselves today, we must yield ... relearn and live some of the ways of old, to help meet the ways of new ... to become an equal part of nature, not through power and greed. As for water specifically, the water we have today is abused and wasted to such a degree that is sinful and should have been painful, if it has not already. The waste is seen over and over, for one example watering a lawn in the middle of a hot summer day, letting water run constantly be it to shower, wash, etc. It is so simple, that we are even very "simple." A dam for recreational use is extremely selfish in that we then deprive for the future of all nature, a lifetime of natural growth and life to die, merely for us to "play" and then a dam reservoir which soon might be filled with silt, pollution and death. Death from waste and possible earthquake! The White River Dam project near Vernal, Utah is a clear example of man's inept ability to be an equal part of nature ... not thinking or feeling the consequences before we even begin to alter natures way! I commend the governor and others involved for their decision to delay construction, but what happens in two years ... will the issue arrise again! Why? Even now there has been tremendous destruction by man in just the beginning stages of road construction. So we stop for now, to move on until it becomes selfishly profitable!?! We truly need a reform in our "ways of life," throughout the world, and we have a choice. There have been many warning signals that man cannot, nor ever will dominate or control nature, from dams, roads, homes, etc. Ownership of nature is of selfish and negative value! It is through education and a renewed spirit of living in harmony with aii of nature as an equal part of the whole on planet Earth, that "life be in it" (National Recreation and Park Association). I hope that you truly judge and feel personally the consequences of your decision, and a value judgment you make for all of nature today and tomorrow. We do not have the ability, power or right to control (if at all possible) or destory nature! Thank you for your honest and hopefully sincere concern for the future! May you live long and naturally, Tom Cammermeyer Thanks, Deer Valley Editor: The Park City Ecumenical Council would like to express a public note of appreciation to Deer Valley Resort for the hospitality shown regarding the Easter sunrise service. We could not have asked for more cooperation from the personnel and the facility was excellent. Thanks, Park City Ecumenical Council Put your money where your ... Editor: At the Board of Education meeting on March 22, we heard much wonderful wonder-ful praise for Dr. Schiller and his staff, with which I whole-heartedly agree. We do, however, have two other schools with equally professional and competent staffs. I wonder if the same 500 people who supported him will also support a mill levy increase to provide all our employees em-ployees with a living wage so they may obtain the position of dignity and respect in our community they have been denied so long. Ralph Hale Board of Education member Next phase of Park City Villageet to begin The skyline of the Park City Village will begin rising again this summer. A set of units will be built on the east side of the Village's skating rink. The section will have 45 units and 4,000 square feet of commercial space. Bob Zieg-ler, Zieg-ler, general manager for the Village, said his company had submitted plans and a permit fee this week for the area, called "Phase 1-B, Increment One." "We're hopeful that we will start construction around the middle of May," Zeigler said, "and have it completed and ready by next ski season." The Village, he said, would be willing to use the whole commercial space in the new section for eating. "Our druthers would be to have a nice sit-down restaurant." But he added the area could lso be divided into smaller units." Ziegler said the rink, which attracted skaters this winter, will also be open for summer use, "though we haven't tried it." With a cover over it, the rink could also be used as a concert space. "People have been asking us to give out season passes. The only reason we're hesitant is we're not sure how to get the rink working for the summer." The units built up this sui.imer will be mainly smaller residences studio and 1-bedroom units. Zieglei said the Village has had a successful season for the units already built. The 18 units of the Village Loft have all been sold and closed on. "They were occupied in rentals to a high percentage this winter," he said. Phase 1-A put its 47 units up to the public on March 1, and about half have sold, he said. The new phase will bring the Village up to a total of 110 units and 27,000 square feet of commercial space. Ziegler said the commercial commer-cial shops at the Village had an effective first year. (His involvement also includes ownership of Ziggy's Pizzeria.) Piz-zeria.) "The feeling among the tenants is pretty good," he said.
