A lot of people put in a lot of time and energy to make sure that the event was the incredible success that it was and your hard work and dedication was certainly not lost on all the competitors, coaches, and officials of-ficials who came to Park City for the races. Secondly, I owe a large debt of gratitude to Craig Badami for having hav-ing the faith in my abilities to bring me back to do the announcing for "America's Opening." I greatly appreciate ap-preciate all the support and friendship friend-ship that Craig has offered me over the five years that I was with the U.S. Ski Team, especially going out on a limb two years ago to give a virtually vir-tually untested unknown the opportunity oppor-tunity to announce his first World Cup events. Craig, I hope I didn't let you down and I hope everyone en-Joyed en-Joyed the show. Finally, I would like to thank all my friends in Park City who made "America's Opening" such a special homecoming for me. I truly felt as if I had never left and that there was still a place for me in Park City. You are all very special to me and I miss the daily contact. If you ever get to Vail and don't call, you will never be forgiven. Best of luck for the remainder of the season to Craig and the Park City Ci-ty Ski Area, the U.S. Ski Team, and all my friends in Park City. Thank you for allowing me to be a small part of "America's Opening" and congratulations once again for a job well done. Take care. JohnDakin Park celebration was a success Editor: On behalf of the entire Leisure Services Department, I'd like to thank everyone who participated in the second-annual "Christmas in the Park" celebration. It was our intent, when we began the program last year, to provide an old-fashioned Christmas celebration for all the residents and visitors of Park City that could be enjoyed by all ages. I think we've accomplished our goal now with two great celebrations in a row and are already looking forward for-ward to next year's. I would also personally like to take the opportunity to thank the people who are truly responsible for the success of "Christmas in the Park." A special thanks to Maria Ploch for engineering not only the library grounds' lighting and decorations, but also Main Street; and to Genero Armendariz, Jay Glazier and Eulogio Hinojos for assisting her in braving sub-freezing temperatures while hanging the miles of lights, garland and ribbon for all to enjoy. A special thanks to Pam Bradford for all her logistical work in organizing organiz-ing the event, from the sleigh ride to the hot spiced wine (good Job Meechel). Thanks again I All your hard work has paid off by helping to make Park City's Christmas just a little merrier mer-rier I Bob Johnston Director Leisure Services The Park Record welcomes letters to the editor on any subject.

Reasons for the leash law by JO-ANN COLLIN Dog owners must license and leash their pets. This law has been made by the community of Park City and by Summit County. The law was not made to burden dog owners but to protect others from situations such as this one: Park Avenue: 7:15 Thursday evening, Dec. 11. A camper truck northbound on Park Avenue hit a large black Labrador dog, just beyond the traffic light. The truck, unable to stop immediately, dragged the dog a few feet and then continued on to turn around. A pedestrian ran into the road to protect the dog from being be-ing hit again by oncoming cars. I pulled over to offer my help. The dog was conscious but unable to move his hind quarters, and had NO COLLAR OR IDENTIFICATION. We called both local veterinarians for help, the Summit County Sheriff's department, which is in charge of animal control, and we asked the Park City Police for assistance. After waiting for two hours without anyone answering our calls for help, I decided to take responsibility respon-sibility for the suffering animal. The truck that had hit the Lab was unable to transport him because it was being be-ing used to transport household furnishings, so I put the dog in the backseat of my car (which is now permanently permanent-ly stained) and drove him to Arcadia Veterinary Clinic inHeberCity. We arrived there at 9 p.m. Lynn, the driver of the vehicle vehi-cle that hit the dog followed me. The black Lab still conscious con-scious was given a sedative, an I.V. was administered, and then an x-ray of his back was taken. Lynn, was saying say-ing through her tears, how she could still hear the thud of the dog's body under the truck. She broke down into sobs of anguish upon seeing the x-ray of the dog's broken back bone. We left the Labrador in the care of the vet for 24 hours. In order to do this, it was necessary for me to take financial finan-cial responsibility in case the owner was not found. Dr. Williams was encouraging, and said that the animal's back could be mended if his nerves responded to touch by the next evening. However, the next day the owner learned of his pet's As I See it ggIRsnnk The Park Reiord (USPS 0037-8370) is published weekly by the News Record Publishing Co Inc SernnH-Hact m i o l r .. ,,t POSTMASTM: Send address chan.o The Park Record, 1670 Bonanza Dr ..

Box H88, P.irk City. Utah 84060 accident and visited Arcadia Vets, paid for the care, and had the dog euthanized. The misfortune of this incident is that Summit County has a leash law and a licensing ordinance. Any dog residing in Summit County for more than 10 days must be currently licensed in this county, and dogs must be leashed or on your real property, preferably fenced in. If the black Lab had had identification, the owner could have been notified and responsibility would have been assumed immediately. With immediate attention, the dog's life could have been saved or at least his suffering suffer-ing could have been reduced. One million dogs are killed annually on U.S. highways, and the greatest threat to our wildlife, with the exception of man's activities, is unsupervised dogs and cats. Also, dogs running at large kill millions of dollars worth of livestock each year. These are not wild dogs, they are family pets. October 9 in Summit County, 40 sheep were attacked by two licensed but unleased dogs. Twenty of the sheep had to be shot and the other 20 or so died of their injuries. The cost to the man who owned the dogs? $2,400. Policing action is not enough to control the pet problems pro-blems in our community. Residents need to feel that in supporting the animal ordinances, their freedoms will not be taken away. Rather, this type of action would nurture nur-ture a community where responsible pet owners and other caring, law-abiding citizens are not victimized or burdened by those who take advantage of or abuse a law that is difficult to enforce. The licensing year begins January 1. The fee is $12 for a year or $6 for any part of 6 months. Spayed or neutered dogs are half the price. Please call 649-5449 for more information. in-formation.
