Show c ?ree Press - Wednesday, January 9, 1985 - Page 2 c&mtnettt It's good to toe Hioinni Proposed development raises questions you better C believe it 1 Given the current condition of Utah Lake, it's hard to believe that anyone would seriously be considering a major development along the lake shore. If there is anything that has been demonstrated in the recent past, it is that the shore of Utah Lake is an uncertain boundary - and is subject to change with the weather. So the announcement of current plans to build a $10 million development called Hedgemont Park between Lehi City and Utah Lake may come as a surprise to many individuals. Plans for the development are extensive, with an golf course, tennis courts, a marina and 500 homes. And at first glance, it sounds like a boon to the local economy. The Army Corps of Engineers, which has say over such matters as waterways, is in the process of issuing a 404 permit for the development - which is simply a first step towards getting other approvals for this type of development. The Corps is involved because the proposed development would include Spring Creek. But there are still many questions still to be answered about the proposed development before even the most preliminary of approvals can be given - and the County Planning Commission has said that it feels even issuing the Corps 404 permit is premature. Several land owners in the area who do not want their property to be included in the development feel the issuance of the permit is the first step towards acceptance of the development by an adjacent and the first step towards eventual municipality condemnation proceedings to make their land available for the development. Other local officials note that land near the lake has been found unsuitable as a building location because of the unstable nature of the ground there. And still others claim that extensive and expensive work on the lake and the land would be required to make the project feasible. Hedgemont Park could become a reality.- It may even be an economic boon to the area. But all of the ramifications of the project should be examined completely and publicly before any permits are issued or any further steps taken to go ahead with the development. The proposal clashes with some local and county master plans, and as such doesn't have much chance of ever being built. Unless the project can be shown to be feasible and acceptable to the organizations handing down the necessary approvals, planning for a development should be put on hold. -- 18-ho- le -- - - Clothing donated to training school residents Every resident at the Utah State Training School received at least one new outfit for Christmas thanks to the generousity of the Ross Stores. Wanda Durrant, manager of Hidden Treasurers at the training school, said Ross donated all of their remaining summer merchandise to the training school, including everything from men's suits to women's dresses, sleep wear, sweaters, and slacks, blouses, "everything imaginable." Items such as shorts and playwear that are "strictly summer" will be put into storage until warmer By BK'ITY FOW1.KK When thai big Weslern jet set down on the runway al the Sail I,ake breathed a sigh of hapAirporl piness.

Residents of the school are allowed to come pick out items they like from the wear, with at least one item going to them as part of their Christmas gifts. All of the clothing is available to the residents at "no cost," she stated. "We are very appreciative of the items. It's wonderful," she said. Mrs. Durrant said the donation was made by Jack Miller of Ross Stores who had heard about the training school and felt it would be a good place to give the clothing items. lisl piloted us lhal 200 plus miles and she was an excellent taxi driver.

Dillon was a bit upset because he might miss Ihe Dolphin's game on Sunday, bul we caught in on the radio so even he was happy with the Donna 1 Irip. Guess who we saw down there? My goodness, Faye Dubois, her Wendy, daughter, and Ihree children there to enjoy the ballet. I spoiled Elrila Miller, and her entourage, Garry and Kay Sampson, Brenl and Trish Fox, and several olhers from our home town including Jan Shelton. Jan acted as hostess for us and it was fun to see her poise and personality as she escorted us to our seats. Every man, woman and child should be prud of the Utah Regional Ballet. It is a kind of miracle that this kind of talent abounds in our midst. From the director to the to the set costume mistress designer. It's amazing the quality of production that had such humble origins. We, all of us Lehians, were so proud! But perhaps the best of all worlds is in the knowledge that the spirituality, discipline, and happiness of those dancers are qualities that have been promoted and taught by wonderful parents, talented and dedicated artists who are willing to share their abilities with others. Whal a homecoming present, and what a vacation. Now, it's going to be difficult to get down out of the clouds to get my work done. The eagle soars but the hawk sleeps Bj MARC HADDOCK I'm slowing transforming from an owl to a hawk - not by chance, but by force. And I'm not so sure I'm happy with the transformation. There's a real difference, you know. And both have their place. An owl, for those who don't know, is one of those people who work well in the late hours - the person who can produce his or her best work after 10 p.m. A hawk, on the other hand, gets up at 4 a.m. to be most productive. That's when they are at their peak. the editor's -- column no and feeling that exhilaration that comes from accomplishment - but he feels it so early in the day that he has nothing to look forward to. Although when the moon is full (usually the proverbial blue moon), I sometimes peak at night and in the morning. But then I'm unconscious for the rest of the week, recovering from all that effort. morning and heading for a slump around noon. Because I've known what I'm going to be able to do, just as soon as Ihe sun goes down, and my owl juices start flowing. At least that's the way it used to So while I'm dreading the change, I'm looking forward to it as well. It will be good to get back to getting something done during the day even if I have to do it at A a.m. be. But I can feel a change. Just like I can feel when my waist band is getting too tight. 1 . joggers, and to do it three times a week, to boot. And it must turn him into a hawk -at least I feel I'm changing. I'm in an interim stage right now. And that's the most difficult time, because usually I don't peak at night any more - the owl in me is gone. But I don't peak in the morning either - the hawk in me is still developing and growing. What a depressing way to start the day, with nowhere to go but down. I've always felt sorry for those hawks I see out running at 6 a.m., burning off all of that excess energy that hawks feel so early in the Personally, I've always been an owl, and I've always liked it. The late hours of the night have always been peaceful and quiet. With everyone else in bed, fust asleep, I can concentrate on putting down in words those deep thoughts thai come to us in solitude. At night am profound. In college, my best reports were those written on when the roommates 'were in bed and thf-f- Bul this owl is changing. You see, I've always looked down on the poor hawk.

Part of the problem is the 7 a.m. class I teach at Utah Technical College.- It's hard on an owl to get up at the same time as all those In the meantime, someone please tell my wife to stop waking me up in the morning to go to work and to stop waking me up at night to come to -- distract ions. beat accomplishment something that can only be done in those late night hours. It's something he's looked forward to all day. Late nights were fun - and being an owl was where I wanted to be. And look at the advantages. The owl has an entire day behind him upon which he can reflect - and then chart his improvements. And he ends the day with an up- bed. Tell her its just a stage. I'll get over it just as soon as I complete the transformation.
