Show Park Record Thursday, October 17, 1991 Page A15 Observing Red Ribbon Week Editor: On March 9, 1985, hundreds of law enforcement officers gathered in Calexico, California, to pay their last respects to Enrique ; Camarena. Enrique was a Drug Enforcement Agent who was j ; brutally murdered in Mexico. In j ; response to his death the National : Federation for Drug Free Youth ; began to wear and display Red Ribons as a symbol of intolerance for the use of drugs. Since then, many national organizations and federal government agencies have joined in support of Red Ribbon Week. Summit County also supports Red Ribbon Week, October 21-25. Many organizations, including the school districts, PTA's, businesses, police and fire departments, community coalitions as well as Valley Mental Health and the Community Health Coalition have joined in the effort to show intolerance for drug abuse and to help create a DRUG FREE AMERICA. The theme for Red Ribbon Week - is "It's Hot to Not". There will - be activities going on throughout Summit County. Some suggestions for families are to display red ribbons on your doors and mail boxes, weave red crepe paper through your chain link fences, wear red clothes on Wednesday and a Red Ribbon throughout the week, attend and participate in the drug free activities, and most important, set aside time to talk with your kids about the dangers of drug use. For more information on how you can get involved in Red Ribbon Week, contact Sherry Jones at Valley Mental Health, 649-8347. Sherry Jones Prevention Specialist Valley Mental Health What IS planned at Bear Hollow? Editor: David Richardson's response to my letter (Oct. 10, 1991) regarding the Bear Hollow Olympic site leaves me puzzled. His letter downplays down-plays the traffic problems and asserts that no stadium is planned. Interesting. The assertions I made were based on statements made at public hearings by those leading the effort and on two other sources, one being a detailed booklet prepared under the auspices of the Salt Lake City Winter Games Organizing Committee, and the other being a plot plan entitled "Conceptual Master Plan" prepared by the Sear-Brown Sear-Brown Group, a retained facility design consulting firm. On page 24 of the Winter Games booklet is an aerial photo and description of facilities for the two venues then being considered: Ecker Hill and Quarry Mountain. The accompanying copy ; specifically states that regardless . of what site is chosen, the 30,000 ; seating capacity stadium and ' parking for more than 10,000 vehicles would pertain, both of these documents show stadiums in the plan, and the Sear-Brown design is site specific. The Ecker Hill venue was shot down as being ill-considered by the local residents and the Bear Hollow site became the location of choice. Since there has been no T PLACE PARK CY FNff R'AiMMf NT CEN'F m aim street, park crryJ evidence that the facility requirements, seating, parking and other needs have changed, I presume the environmental, traffic and other concerns I addressed have also not changed. If, on the other hand, these inferences are erroneous and we are to believe Mr. Richardson, we are going to expect all or most of the attendees to arrive by bus. Simple arithmetic suggests that something in the order of 600 or 700 buses would be needed. That's a lot of buses to devote to a four or five-day event, as Mr. Richardson suggests, especially in view of bussing needs for other venues. Even at that, traffic implications created by hundreds of buses should not be discharged lightly. To put this matter to rest, it is about time that those in the planning process clearly depict in the press, in a scale that can be readily seen, and in language that can be easily understood, just what is planned at Bear Hollow. Only then can those of us most affected make an intelligent judgment as to the impact on our community. There have been too many behind-closed-doors discussions and agreements and too little open disclosure to the public. Bob Anderson Thank God for the Women's Shelter Editor: Last week we had unexpected houscguests. A young woman and her two-year-old child were dropped off at our home. It was very obvious that this lady and her child were in distress and had suffered from mental and physical abuse. They were hungry and had no funds. We tried several avenues and all failed. Then, we remembered your series on the Women's Shelter in SLC. We called the shelter and were told that there was a long waiting list. We put our guests name on the list, and tried to contact several slate agencies for help and direction. Unfortunately, we were at a loss. I remember all the wonderful things you had written about the shelter, and decided to call again. We spoke with a wonderful woman, and explained our dilemma, and how helpless we felt. We were not equipped with the tools to take care of this woman and her child. We also were concerned about the emotional stability of both of them. After explaining at great length the situation, the lady at the shelter told us to come down within the next two hours. We collected our guests and drove to the shelter. I was impressed at how carefully hidden the shelter is in order to protect the women who are there. When we arrived, our guests were immediately welcomed and taken care of. I had the opportunity of touring the facility and speaking with several women. I cannot express how fortunate I feel not to have had to stay there myself. I also feel very secure to know that such a facility exists in our state. The shelter is always in need of money, food and clothing. I would hope that those of us who are more fortunate would remember our sisters who are in need and donate to this very special place. I would appreciate it if you would be able to once again let your readers know of the needs of the homeless and particularly women who have been abused.

A picture-perfect wedding Editor: This letter is just to express our thanks to all the great people in Park City who were there for us and helped make our recent wedding a terrific success. Thanks to Kelly Miller and Lynn Williams for being the wedding consultants extraordinaire, we really appreciated all th helpful hints, advice and most of all the moral support! Thanks to Tonja Hanson of Silver King-- all the rooms were great and so was the rehearsal dinner! Many thanks to the Park City Community Church, the ceremony was terrific and even though we had hoped to use the new location, it turned out great. The food was absolutely delicious and was beautifully prepared by Kathryn Hadfield and Jody Pugh of Savoir Fare Caterers. We got so many comments on how good the food was! The reception was held at Trail's End at ParkWest and, thanks to Wayne Johnson and Scott the bartender, was a huge success. Dcnise Pace of Coalville did a wonderful job on the wedding cakes which were also beautifully decorated with Kathy's flowers. Thanks to John Batcman and the Ray Orbit Band for not only providing the music for the reception but also to John himself for singing such a moving song during our ceremony. I don't think there was a dry eye in the house. Much appreciation to Reverend Bill McCreary of Salt Lake City for the performance of the ceremony. Special thanks to Jennifer Smith, our lovely little flower girl. And thanks to the man upstairs for making the rain go away and turning our wedding afternoon into a bright and sunny one. But most of all, thanks to all our guests, friends and family, because without you, none of this wouyld have mattered. We had a wonderful time and realized once again why we love Park City and all the people here so much! Sincerely, Lisa and Kevin Malon (Editor's note: Because of a computer glitch which resulted in errors in the above letter last week, we are reprinting it in its entirety.) A healthy alternative Editor: We have been reading and hearing the statistics about our high school kids. They are alarming and true. We want to let you know that there are activities available for pRlVATE ANd QROtp EVENTS our youth that are safe, healthy and promote positive behavior. We just returned from a Young Life sponsored trip to Southern California. We took 26 high school students over UEA to spend a day at Newport Beach and a day at Disneyland. They endured a fourteen hour drive Wednesday night to get there and twelve hours back on Saturday. We stayed in Anaheim across from Disneyland and traveled in vans to various places including dinner at "Flakey Jakes" and a trip to the largest mall in Southern California. These kids were well behaved and fun, making our job as chaperons easy. We would like to thank Roger Harlan of Young Life and the kids for a successful trip. And a special thanks to the parents for supporting out youth in a healthy, fun activity. Keep it up.

I, as must be every other resident of this fine town, am aware of the metal "no trespassing" signs conspicuously placed everywhere around the golf course. Surely the management understands that well over a thousand people live on or around the Park Meadows Golf Course. This summer, I've been told to report to the pro shop and pay a greens fee because my two-year-old was out hitting a whiffle ball with a plastic club, and told to leave while fishing on the street side of the lake at the corner of Lucky John and Little Kate. Tonight I was similarly told to leave while walking across the course to the Racquet Club. All of these heinous offenses occurred after sunset while not a single golfer was on the course. About a month ago I was playing at about 7 p.m. when the ranger challenged me to prove that I had actually payed to play. I show him my ten-play card which was properly marked by the person in the pro shop. That wasn't good enough. He had to take my card and call the pro shop so REFINISHING FURNITURE PIANOS ANTIQUES 1 5 4 NAVAJO STREET SALT LAKE CITY UTAH 84104 PB8.

This is especially true since the golf course impacts all of Park Meadows. I think that most area residents understand the need to stay off the golf course during playing hours both for the safety of themselves as well as the enjoyment of the folks that are paying to play. The early morning and evening hours are the times when residents might want to go fishing or take a walk. The only way to enforce a no trespassing rule is to put up a fence. We put up with the extra traffic, and golfers rooting around in the yard for lost balls, and I've never called to complain about the loudspeaker emanating from across the way at 7 a.m. on Sunday morning. It goes with the territory. It's time for the Park Meadows Golf Course to stop being a bad neighbor and loosen up a bit. A little tolerance and reciprocation from the folks that run the golf course would be appreciated.
