Show A-2 The Park Record Wednesday, October 1, 1997 October marks Domestic Violence Awareness Month Hen generation eyes neu gronth ...... Peace House, Domestic Peace Task Force holding events by Kirsta H. Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF It was two years ago that Park City resident Patricia Blanchard became a tragic victim of domestic violence when her ex-husband, John Blanchard. took her life in the early morning hours of Sept. 19. 1995. An extreme case of domestic violence's ultimate price, Patricia's death hit close to home, as did the untimely death of Parkite Nadalee Noble at the hands of her husband a few years before. Like Park City, many communities throughout the nation have been affected by the primary and secondary sec-ondary effects of domestic violence. Due to the increasing concern regarding domestic violence's societal soci-etal impacts, this is the 10th year that October has been designated National Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Throughout the month, local agencies, schools and community members will be invited by the Peace House and the local Domestic Peace Task Force to participate in activities scheduled throughout through-out the month of October designed to increase the awareness of domestic violence among Summit County's residents. This year's theme for Domestic Violence Awareness Month is "A World With No Violence." As a widespread epidemic that is often swept under the carpet by both its perpetrators and victims, domestic violence does not discriminate among socioeconomic socio-economic groups, a fact that leads some individuals to believe they are immune from its effects, according to Peace House Director Jennifer Harris. - Additionally, because the young victims of domestic domes-tic violence are at an increased risk of becoming violent vio-lent criminals later on in life, Harris added, targeting children through advocacy and education is an ongoing ongo-ing goal of the Domestic Peace Task Force and Summit County's Peace House shelter. To increase county-wide awareness of domestic violence issues, their solutions, and services available in this area, the activities scheduled Domestic Violence Awareness Month are designed to involve participants of all ages. Harris told The Park Record that four general themes for the month include the following: Building awareness that battering is widespread Alerting the public to services and intervention that can help battered women Encouraging community responsibility for prevention pre-vention Increasing global awareness that domestic violence vio-lence is a human rights violation and linked to other forms of violence and oppression. The national designation of a Domestic Violence Awareness Month is also targeted toward providing a period of mourning for women who have suffered and died at the hands of their perpetrators, and it is a time when the community is urged to take a proactive role in prevention and recognition of domestic violence issues. All members of the community are encouraged to participate in Domestic Violence Awareness Month in different ways, Harris said. Local merchants can show their compassion by setting up in-store displays, featuring the purple ribbon that is used to recognize intolerance of domestic violence. The faculty, staff, and students in Summit County's elementary schools have also been asked to participate partici-pate in the month through and art contest incorporating incorporat-ing the "A World With No Violence" theme. The Peace House will select three winners from each school, and will award a savings bond for future educational edu-cational endeavors to each of the winners. Additionally, the students will be recognized at an assembly, at which time a safety presentation will also be held. Other activities scheduled for the month include four days of volunteer training for the Domestic Peace Task Force on Oct. 20, Oct. 27, Nov. 3 and Nov. 10 at the Prudential Coleman Building at 6:30 p.m., and designation of Oct. 13-17 as 'Purple Ribbon Week.' For more information of Domestic Violence Awareness Month activities, the volunteer training session, or other task force programs, please call 647-9161. 647-9161. Harris added that, while the Peace House provides shelter for women and children, the Domestic Peace Task Force offers other programs, including those that address sexual harassment and provide community commu-nity outreach for individuals who do not feel comfortable comfort-able visiting the shelter.

Bronson said the Midway City Council expressed concerns about water and public-safety issues, such as police and fire protection. Wasatch County Planner Bob Mathis said UPCM has yet to submit sub-mit a complete application for the project, nor has the company paid an application fee. But, Mathis said, he is "expecting it at any time." Mathis said a golf course, crosscountry cross-country skiing trails, two ski lifts connecting the area to Park City Mountain Resort and a new road and sewer lines to Midway might be included in UPCM's application. applica-tion. The Bonanza Flats area, which is located just south of Flagstaff, was a key element in the negotiations negotia-tions between UPCM and Park City concerning the Flagstaff development proposal, which ultimately ulti-mately reached a stalemate. Under a compromise reached between Park City and UPCM during Flagstaff negotiations, UPCM had agreed to keep the area as open space in exchange for the permission permis-sion to locate 200 additional units of development in other, more accessible, areas of the Flagstaff area. "The Planning Commission thought not having any development develop-ment (in Bonanza Flats) was a good tradeoff," Park City Special Projects Planner Nora Seltenrich said about the Park City-UPCM negotiations. The city, though, was unwilling to relocate the development, so negotiations ended. Park City Councilman Paul Sincock is worried that, if UPCM is allowed to develop at Bonanza Flats, Park City will be adversely affected because many people and automobiles will travel through Park City to get to the Bonanza Flats development. "All the impacts are in Park City, but all of the development and revenue goes to Wasatch County ... It will be near, at and around Park City," Sincock said. "Our negotiations focused on Bonanza Flats not being developed." devel-oped." Specifically, Sincock said congestion con-gestion on Marsac Avenue and the Mine Road would be greatly increased if Bonanza Flats were developed. "The cars and the traffic and the noise all would go through Park City," Sincock said. Dana Williams of Citizens Allied for Responsible Growth also has concerns about UPCM's proposal. "That was a huge, huge chip," Williams said about Bonanza Flats' role in the Flagstaff negotiations. negotia-tions. Williams also said the Park City government needs to attempt to take an active role in the negotiations negotia-tions between UPCM and Wasatch County. "The city needs to be involved in the Wasatch process," Williams said. "It's time for the city to get involved." PC teachers vote on pay proposal Continued from A-1 tance of the teachers' professional profes-sional agreement. She said that the agreement's future was continually con-tinually jeopardized by the board's actions and that teachers teach-ers felt strongly about maintaining maintain-ing this agreement. She said, "The most important key is our professional agreement." She added, "There is a perception per-ception that there is an effort on the part of the board to do away with our professional agreement, agree-ment, which includes the rights of teachers and most importantly important-ly it provides the avenues and time lines for salary negotiations. negotia-tions. The professional agreement agree-ment is like our constitution." Despite the board's offer, Daines said that teachers don't want to strike. "These professional profes-sional educators do what they do best in the classroom. We will continue to do our job for the children of this district regardless." As spokesperson for the teachers, Daines added that she thought Park City teachers would like to hear responses from the parents concerning this issue of salary talks. Finally Daines said, "The responsibility of the board is to see that all areas in the education educa-tion delivery system are taken care of equally. They can not continue to fund everything except teachers salary." Colleen Bailey, acting spokesperson for the board of education and a board member, was unavailable for comment. mm ..... fi S ' , r A V f 'A . ass--- : e r. i!tiMmm.
