Show Page B6 Thursday, July 26, 1990 Park Record The Great American Yard Sale Park City hosts mixed-six to be held Saturday August 11 As the end of summer nears, families in Summit County will have a special opportunity to tidy up at home and, at the same time, help homeless families across the country coun-try by contributing items to The Great American Yard Sale. Sponsored by the Wardley Corp. Better Homes and Gardens, and co-sponsored by Daily Bread of Park City, The Great American Yard Sale will be held at the Treasure Mountain Middle School Parking lot at 2530 E. Highway 248 between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Saturday Satur-day August 11. Fifty percent of the proceeds from the sale will go to The Better Homes Foundation, the nation's na-tion's only organization specifically dedicated to helping homeless families, and 50 percent will be given to Daily Bread in Park City to be used in their local efforts. "We hope everyone in the community com-munity will participate. Everyone is encouraged to look through their at tics, closets, garages, and to take all their re-useable items to the Middle School parking lot on the morning of August 11," said Max Greenlagh, broker for the sponsoring real estate office. "The Great American Yard Sale will be taking place at the same time in cities and towns across the country. One hundred and thirty simultaneous sales occurred last summer. We're sponsoring the sale because we believe every American family should have a home. There are homeless families all across the country. These families have more than 750,000 children more than half of them under age six. It's really real-ly a terrible situation, and we know that people here in Summit County would like to help these children. This is a great way to do it." All donations should be priced and marked by the donating party. Receipts will be issued at the time items are received by the sponsor.

The Sizzler sponsored spon-sored tournament will be held August 22-25. According to Tim Vetter, Recreation Recrea-tion Director for Park City, approximately approx-imately 500 volleyball players will make up the 60-80 participating teams. Vetter anticipates two to three thousand spectators will be in attendance for the competition. Preliminary play will be Wednesday, Wednes-day, Thursday and Friday with semi-finals and the championship match slated for Saturday. Harold Buckner, Vice President of the U.S.V.B.A. National Championship Champion-ship Division, indicates the coed tournament provides more action and excitement than regular volleyball because of the composition composi-tion of the teams. "Most of the men are tall, powerful hitters, while the women have great technical and defensive skills," Buckner said. "The rallies are long and intense and the crowds really get into it." Buckner and Vetter predict that with the Park City community behind this event, it will become a regularf'tour" event that will return every five and six years. Volunteers are needed to help with the tournament.

Raccoons out as pets in Utah Raccoons, those small, furry critters crit-ters with the bandit masks and black rings on their tails, are on the way out as pets in Utah. They'll still live out in the woods, dipping their food in the stream and conducting mischief as usual. But a new state law, aimed mostly at protecting human health, went into effect July 1 of this year, banning them as new family pets,, fil, ,,L People who had pet raccoons before July 1 will be able to keep them but not replace them if they run away or die, Edison Stephens, deputy commissioner of the Utah Department of Agricultrure (UDA), pointed out today. Those owners will be required to file a registration form with UDA. Details will be announced an-nounced soon, he added. Like most other animal health laws, this one was written to prevent the spread of animal diseases to humans. If a pet raccoon is bitten by a rabid dog or other animal, the raccoon rac-coon is a serious threat to its owner and his or her family and neighbors. The treatment for rabbies in humans is long and painful, and although there's a human vaccine available now, it has to be administered ad-ministered before a bite from a diseased animal is received. PARK CITY COURSE Starts August 3 STRINGHAM'S Institute of R.E. Studies 1-800-759-8889 Anyone who saw the .1969 Walt Disney movie "Rascal" (narrated by Walter Pidgeon) is well aware of the mischief raccoons can perpetrate. The story took place in northern Wisonsin in the summer of 1918. In it, a young boy Bill Mumy spent much of his time trying try-ing to undo the damage his playful . pet raccoon inflicted at home and in ihe- neighbors' gardenHTbe-movie ended with the star imitating some of his human counterparts and running runn-ing off with a lady raccoon.) Utah farmers themselves can testify to the destructive pranks of the masked mammal, which is named nam-ed for an Algonquin Indian word meaning "he scratches with his hands." Raccoons cause financial losses to crops in storage as well as in the field. Rabies prevention, though not mischief, is the main reason for the new law. Most domestic pets can be vaccinated for rabies to prevent their infecting humans. However, Dr. Michail Marshall, state ; veterinarian with UDA, revealed that non-domestic pets such as raccoons, rac-coons, skunks, wolves and others can't be vaccinated for rabies for two main reasons. First, the vaccines vac-cines haven't been cleared through the federal government for use with these animals, and second, there is a possibility that the vaccine can revert to an infective form and cause the disease in wild animals. This is because of genetic differences dif-ferences between wild and domestic animals, Marshall explained. American Heart Association The Columbine has Gone Public! Memberships no longer needed!
