The community is invited to a one-day sale this Saturday. Feb. 15, from noon to 5 p.m. at 7888 Aster Lane in Deer Valley. Linda Myers, founder of the program pro-gram and coordinator of the annual rug show and sale, has organized this special event in response to the requests of the Elders who have contacted con-tacted her throughout the winter. The Navajo, w ho had been experiencing a drought for (he past three years, suffered suf-fered a particularly difficult season. At leas! live feet of snow blanketed their reservation, isolating many of the Elders. Many of their livestock could not withstand the frigid conditions condi-tions and lack of hay. While the Navajo Nation did drop food, hay and firewood from helicopters, many did nol survive. "While the emergency is over it is w armer and muddy there right now they used up their money for the winter win-ter to buy food for their livestock," says Myers. "The expense incurred was nol counted on. For three years there had been a drought so the children chil-dren had no winter coats or boots, and during the crisis period, many of the Elders became stranded." Myers said she began getting notes in the mail "Please sell my rug." The Elders bring their rugs to Park City each year for the annual show and sale, and there is often a surplus which Myers keeps to hopefully sell throughout the year. While she keeps a catalogue of the rugs, there is no permanent place to display them. But with the many requests, she began looking for a way to have mini-show. Bill Coleman, brokerowner of the Prudential Coleman Real Estate and a supporter of the Adopt-A-Native-Elder program, stepped forward with a solution. Coleman offered a Deer Valley home to house Saturday's sale. "As a real estate company and as an individual. I have always been concerned con-cerned about the dilemma of the people peo-ple living in that part of the country, which is a difficult area to make productive pro-ductive anyway." said Coleman.

Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF While water or lack thereof there-of continues to become one of the biggest issues throughout the state, Ihe Summit County Commissioners have taken a step toward preserving shares of water for future development and growth in the county. Last week, the commissioners signed a memorandum of understanding under-standing that allows local reservation reser-vation of Weber Basin water from the Smith and Morehouse Reservoir through an interlocal agreement between the Atkinson Water District. Park City, and Summit County. Atkinson, a special service district that provides domestic water service to the Silver Summit subdivision and Silver Creek Business Park, will officiate offici-ate the sale of Weber Basin water shares. The water district's decisions, however, are governed by the commissioners, which gives the county the final say in exactly who gets the water. According to Steve Clyde, attorney for Atkinson, the memorandum mem-orandum will allow the service district to "lock that water up for the benefit of Summit County." Clyde added that the water will serve both current and future residential water needs. Essentially, the memorandum gives Summit County and the 4 NAN CHALAT-NOAKERRAflK RECORD Utah's Saliva Sisters gave a rowdy performance at the Park City Jewish Community Center Fundraiser last Saturday.
