Show Citizen, Free Press, Review - Tues., Dec. 24, 1996 Ann Landers: A wish for peace for 1997 Dear Readers: In 1955, the year I began writing this col- I wrote an essay for Christmas Reader Day. was response extremely umn, rewarding, and I have reprinted it each year, with topical modifications. This is my Christmas message for 1996: Dear Readers: is Today Christmas. What has happened to peace on Earth, goodwill toward men? In many parts of the world, there is no peace, and in the hearts of many men, there is nothing that could pass for goodwill. Our youth insist that we are poisoning the environment, and New ballet performance delightful they are right. They resent living in a world they didn't make, and who can blame them? But what generation ever made the world it had to live in? Although our universities are once again places of higher learning, racism abounds on many campuses. Prejudice against minorities is on the increase, and I fear it's going to get worse before it gets better. Unfortunately, the "war on drugs" has turned out to be a colossal failure. The increase in the number of homicides is staggering, and most of it is Guns and knives are standard It is equipment among not uncommon for a teen-age- r to get shot or stabbed for his jacket or his shoes. Metal detectors in schools help some but not enough. While alcohol is still the most abused drug of all, marijuana and stronger substances like crack cocaine and now heroin again are commonplace in junior and senior high schools. The dropout rate is appalling. Why should a kid stay in drug-relate- teen-ager- By KATTIERINE SCIIROEPPEL The Nutcracker in all of its magical splendor was presented by the Rocky Mountain Ballet last week at Timpview High School. It was a holiday event that delighted all in attendance. The ballet company was started up in the fall of 1995 by Connie Burton who was the artistic and choreographic director of this production. The dancers were skilled and dazzling to watch. s. school when he can get rich dealing drugs? This is the message too many young people are getting. Suicide is the second most cause of death among teenagers in this country. (The first is accidents.) Every 90 minutes, a teen-age- r in America will kill him- am adored by some, despised by others, chastised, castigated and dumped on. Does it depress me? No, it does not. After 41 years, I still find writing this column immensely rewarding. I realize that many people who write to me don't want advice. They just need someone who will listen. My column has provided me with an opportunity to shine a spotlight on ignorance and fear, comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable. I am well aware that mine is an enormous responsibility, and I try hard, 365 days a year, never to let you down. You, dear readers, are my friends. You invite me into your homes, and often we have breakfast together. I want to be there for you when you need me. So, if you feel the need to unburden yourself, blow your top, register a gripe or tell me off, I'm as close as your mailbox. God bless you all. I hope 1997 will be your best year ever. Ann Landers frn-que- nt self. More bad news is that venereal disease is epidemic, not to mention AIDS, for which there is no vaccine and no cure, although new drugs are providing hope. We are becoming increasingly desensitized to filthy language, garbage "art" and rotten stuff on TV. Violence, bigotry and talking dirty must be tolerated, we are told, because we dare not endanger "freedom of speech." I am firmly against censorship, but where is the moral outrage against all the filth? It's almost impossible to find a family movie these days. What has happened to plain, everyday decency? Because this is an advice column, I spend the greater part of every day with grief and trouble. I flew Automatic Scoring X The Files Subtitled A Miracle at Area 51, this production by Off Braodway Theatre in Salt Lake City is out the prove, The Spoof is Out There, and just in time for the holiday season. The show runs Mondays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays through Dec. 31. Curtain time is Randy Lynn Strong as little Clara was enchanting. The principal dancers, Jaclyn Dowling as the Sugarplum Fairy, Glade Topham as the Cavalier, Christina Williams as the Snow Queen and Steven Novakovich as the Snow King all were strong dancers who deserved the applause given them. The costumes designed by Judith White were wonderful especially that of the colorful Mother Ginger the character who comes out with the little bon bon dancers under her skirt. She had a fun paper mache head. The set designed by Peter Jones and Mark Ohran was well done. The Christmas tree was beautiful to watch as it grew to its large height. The Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets were both perfect settings for Clara's dream. Overall, this is a production to rival those of other companies in the area and might well be worth including in your next year's flurry of seasonal activities. 7:30 p.m. The theater is located at 272 South Main, Salt Lake City, and reservations can be made by The Dec. 31 calling (801) show will open at 7 p.m., followed by Off Broadway's entry in the First Night activities, two showings of the theater's improvisa-tiona- l comedy hit "Quick Wits" at 9:45 and 11 p.m. The final show will get out in time to let patrons see the fireworks display at mid355-462- night.
