"It can be complex," he said. "The city must be very cautious about interfering with private enterprise, especially when development is likely to occur without city assistance.

"That is not the business of the city" she said. She feels the westside property proper-ty currently being considered for tax increment financing would develop anyway and she would like to see something beautiful develop. "I would rather see both something that is pleasing to look at and something that is needed in the city rather than another discount store," she said. "We need to get somebody to get organized and get it moving. A nice department store or sit-down sit-down restaurant would be very welcome," she added. She appreciates having the items on the upcoming bond election separated so voters can voice their opinions individual- ly. "I think people should have a Be a newspaper carrier!

"We need to do a big project just fixing some of these roads," he said. "We need a lot of traffic lights, like ones at 1100 East and 300 West.

"I feel comfortable to discuss different points of view, as long as it is constructive," he said. "I am confident I can do that effectively." He bases that on 30 years of a business and financial management man-agement background. Those skills would also work well in managing the city employees.

He would also like to use communication with the public. "I am strongly opposed to the council conducting executive sessions (excluding the public), except for sensitive personnel issues," he said. "It is also good for the public to hear how the council feels and how is bases its decisions and insight." Hampton likes the way the bond election is being put together, with separate issues for each of the four projects under consideration. "I am very supportive of the approach thst the current city council has opted to use on that," he said. "I think the voters vot-ers should have the option to research. I would like to see a civic center built there." The library is a very critical issue, he said. "I like the way the bond election is coming together with the voters able to express their opinions on separate issues. We are going to see what the people peo-ple want." He favors controlled growth, indicating that growth is inevitable. "Let them put it in the areas we have designated for growth," he said. "They should follow the zoning and the master plan. We should not treat developers differently dif-ferently and grant special favors." To improve morale among city employees, he would make sure they are paid properly and have existing residents," she said. "We should make the developer tell us how he is going to do it, such as putting the roads in and saving sav-ing space for parks. For example, Orchard Hills has been promised a park and still doesn't have it. Some roads are not accessible."

As the youngest American member of the hiking party, he became quite a celebrity. One day, when they were staying at a camp at the base of Mt. Elbrus, Scott opted to hang out with the local teenagers rather than go with his group. "I lived the normal life of one of the Ukrainian kids," he said. In the evening, he went to a dance where he said the other teenagers watched his every move. Both the guys and the girls wanted to see how Americans dance. So he did some "Michael Jackson moves" which he said had them "laughing on the floor." In the climb, neither Greg nor Scott made it to the summit. sum-mit. On the day the group was going to reach the summit which is about an eight hour hike on a day with good weather, Greg stayed behind feeling ill. Later in the afternoon, however, how-ever, he decided to go ahead and see how far he could get. He made to the 15,500 foot level of the 18,600 foot mountain. moun-tain. He passed all the members mem-bers of their hiking party on their way down as he was going up, but he didn't see Scott. He turned around when he met the last hiker who assured him that no one was behind him. The weather was turning bad and Greg had no choice but to hike back down the mountain thinking his son might be lost somewhere.

Fortunately, Greg found Scott back down at the advanced base camp. He had passed him. Scott asked his dad why he didn't say anything any-thing when they passed. "I asked him, Why didn't you say , anything?'" said Greg. A few members of their party did reach the summit. Scott made it to 17,000 plus feet. Later that evening, it was discovered that two men from another hiking party from Greece actually did wander off . the defined path and hadn't returned. They didn't survive the 70 mph winds that roared that night and were later found dead by the search and rescue party. "Not everybody realizes," said Greg, "that the mountain, . although not a technically difficult dif-ficult mountain, has killed more climbers than any other ' large mountain in the world. It ' deceives you. All of the sudden, sud-den, the weather changes." Greg said that the climb did accomplish its purpose. It brought that group of almost 40 people from the three different dif-ferent nationalities together in a spirit of brotherhood that did not exist when they started out. Unfortunately, the baseball equipment still sits in Moscow and has not made it to Chuck Sullivan's group of kids that he wants to teach baseball. Scott said they are waiting on the right people to get it across the Russian border to Cherkasy so that it will get to where it is supposed to go.
