Results are expected to be available within the next two weeks. In the meantime the ball diamond area of the park will be closed the LUNCHEON . . .

It seems to me that West Valley City would be better off if they first took care of the problems that exist within their own boundaries before looking with hungry eyes at the property of their neighbors who apparently do not wish to be annexed. And it might be well for certain other county and state agencies to become more aware that everyone does not have the same physical capabilities, and should not be excluded from active participation in the world in which they live by steep flights of stairs and other barriers.

And I have had to answer, Because West Valley City discriminates against the handicapped. On March 3rd I dragged my body up two flights of stairs to attend the first hearing.
