festivalgoers The gunman age unknown began firing about 11:15 pm after a brief altercation that police said was gang-relate- d Both victims were taken to Pioneer Valley Hospital and were being evaluated early this morning One of the victims was believed to have been shot in the abdomen and the other was shot in the left leg said West Valley City police No other injuries were reported Officers working security at the festival arrested the suspect as he parked ran away from the panicky crowd said West Valley City police Lt "Buzz" Nielsen A revolver was recovered after the arrest "It was a big crowd" said Lt Nielsen "It was right in the middle of it all" Details were sketchy about the shooting early today and it was unknown exactly what started the altercation said police "Most everyone thought it was 357-calib- just fireworks but everyone started running when they knew it was gunshots" said Mike Swiger who saw the they should expect to eat something a little different — hence the snake menu Four years ago he offered festival-goer- s alligator on a stick a lot like chicken chili Mr Fredrackson who in real life is the chef at the Market Street Broiler and Fish Market uses fresh spices and USDA inspected rattlesnakes to stir up his chili The snakes come from a native game farm in South Dakota that sells exotic meats to restaurants across the country When people

character of the project being discussed cannot be the reason to hold closed meetings "on the contrary — it looks like the Town Lift development project is going to use the taxpayers' dollars and the public has every right to know everything It's their money" Ms Miller said "The state law stipulates when and why the City Council may hold closed meetings and it says we can do it in case of litigation — but litigation according to the Webster dictionary means that a lawsuit has been filed No lawsuit has been filed so far" shoot at the press Once the questioning started it became obvious the assembled newspeople would have done a splendid job of making the mayor look more like a victim Some questions that I can't answer: If as Dan Quayle says Murphy Brown is an example of the country's loss of family values why did a Fathers Day poll conclude that the two top TV dads were Robert Reed from "The Brady Bunch" and Fred Mac Murray of "My Three Sons" both fathers of nontraditional families Do you suppose that those polled understand the difference between real life and entertainment? If every state in the continental United States allows parimutuel racing except Utah why the paranoia? to O h In the past five weeks a majority of Park City Council meetings were closed to the public and one city councilwoman says she cannot accept the justification being offered for holding the sessions behind closed doors ' Barbed )t 4 on O current owners are constructing an eight-stobuilding However since the contract Park City has adopted a policy that bans buildings taller than four stories in the historic district "But the owners say: 'If you don't allow us an were going to sue' " Ms Miller said "The council now is trying to find a compromise to avoid the lawsuit probably to offer the developers some kind of partnership if they agree with several restrictions That is what the council wants to discuss behind closed doors — but we're talking about hundreds of thousands in tax money and people should know everything" Ms Miller said that June 18 she objected to closing the sessions and refused to participate in any closed sessions dealing with the issue Her stand however was not supported by the other four council members most of whom agreed with the closing of the meetings Council member Jim Santy said Friday that he agreed to a closed meeting because it was suggested by City Attorney Jim Carter Park City Manager Toby Ross said Friday that during his three years with the government he didn't recall any meetings that were closed without a legal reason "We've only used closed meetings to discuss such issues as property acquisition and personnel questions"Mr Ross said Nakoryakov THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE high-price- d er long-awaite- - learned here is: "Never hire a lawyer to beat up the press for you" In all the news conferences I have seen involving politicians who have had to defend themselves I have never seen one that included a spokeslawyer answering the questions instead of the politician in question The mayor set back worn-en- s politics by stepping aside and allowing a man to do her dirty work in fielding a good portion of the questions and berating the news media for their incompetence Even presidential hopeful Bill Clinton who has had to answer countless vicious attacks on his character has done so in front of the microphone himself In fact if you remember his appearance on "Donahue" with Phil constantly badgering him about his personal life the audience wound up on Clinton's side and started to question Donahue about being a jerk Clinton came off as a victim Deedee missed a golden opportunity to gain widespread public support when she brought in a hired gun to C Councilwoman Rails Against Closed Meetings a o There must be a book somewhere titled: How Not to Get Elected or to Public Office With the countless scandals znd gaffes made by office seekers and holders over the past two centuries you probably could fill an entire library House Speaker Tom Foley talked to reporters the other day but he refused to join the chorus of jabs at the latest Dan Quayle He did however list five rules of office: "Don't go to spelling bees Don't wear hats Don't throw a baseball unless you have a very high box to drop it from straight down Do not got out on the mound and try to toss it across the field Nev" er ride in a This book if it existed undoubtedly would contain the additional advice: "Never say 'Read my lips' or Gary Hart's famous 'Go ahead and follow rue around all you want'" Locally we can look to Mayor Deedee and her news conference to clear the air of implications of improprieties in past business ventures The political lesson LOCAL Sunday June 28 1992 0104110"1 Despite the rain wind and Sat- urday competition from the air festival attendance has been about the same as previous years said Susan Koles publicity coordinator for the festival 1 show r$A -- "IMO77 WESTN1INSTER COLLEGE -: 0 :rpt- 575:7"1"41' """'" - OF SALT LAKE CITY T' A e: ANNOUNCES - 0- pmayNk A NEW GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM MASTER OF 441:4 iliFf4t4:-71tl-)- 1 iMii110411ii tY - r:111 44irr!t!!' r ie't - - :i1414f vaoti)11-11it- í t'l!F ti:1111 fyYi(ilfT17 qopiraf-t- ft PROFESSIONAL COMMUNICATION t i DESIGNED FOR WORKING PROFESSIONALS ' r 41' $1110 - A Off001:1-41i-ht EXPAND AND IMPROVE WRITING SKILLS AND 111(41 e h4)10) MANAGEMENT OF COMMUNICATION 411111ffill: '74:11 VIE 00 ire t ' it ' jr t: I tit fge ttri:41-Iik- T'r e- - )714'r:1!"ittr0:: Afti :tV1 I it (11 to 1 CAN BE COMPLETED IN TWO YEARS 611: 11:z1 11 it 14 (:-V4- 9 t: CALL THE OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS we 488-428- SUNDAY JUNE I Tate 28 1 DAV--- -'-' L F --A L -r- ' A 0 FOR MORE INFORMATION Noon 5 pm 1:41amyoNyles IN THE EVENING CLASSES OFFERED rojel Fo 1NAA TV A4 WESTMINSTER COLLEGE - V46' or SALT I Ho Down Payment LAKE CITY Ho Interest No Payment 'til October 1992 ON APPROVED CREDIT WITH MINIMUM PURCHASE 7 AlWA146SDAivilabloftaiLv Kirov ------- - t't' tk 0 10111-NNqt- 'PAPoPP 4t - 4 A Wtg ftiNot ----- -- 4 it 4pot kMMf |
