It is going to cross-countr- y, focus the world on this place. Final selection was narrowed to just two sites, Soldier Hollow and Sherwood Hills, near Logan. But Soldier Hollow received early trail praise after cross-countdesigner Hermod Bjorkstol and biathlon technical adviser Janez Vbdicar rated the site as the best qualified to host the events. Bjorkstol and Vodicar are in Wasatch County, already starting design work for the courses. Tb come out and win the game is really exciting, said Wasatch County Economic Director Robyn Pearson. "It started in its infancy the concept. We watched it grow. We watched it mature. We watched the community get behind it We watched other people from outside the area put it through a litmus test Soldier Hollows strengths not only met technical restraints, but included a legacy facility that McKay Edwards, a professional ry consultant hired by Soldier Hollow organizers, envisions as becoming the most successful and active training facility in North America. Im most excited about the site because it is a legacy project and what it will be leaving the people in Wasatch County in years to come, said Mitzi Nelson, a Midway resident. "It will be something we can use not only for winter sports but we will be able to get-u-p there in the summer time and fall.

David Luber, managing member of Deer Crest; Robert Fuller; developer of The of Zermatt; Britt Villages Mathwich, executive director of the Homestead; surrounding municipalities and Wasatch County each donated thousands of dollars to the proposal. "You have a lot of people to consider in making decisions, said Nelson, director of Utah Division of Parks and Recreation. "Partnerships are more always complex.

Skits, sssemblies with audience involvement, and class discussions will also be held throughout the week because education is a vital key in reducing alcohol and dreg abuse, as well as violence. "The whole idea behind Ribbon Week is to get parents and teachers to discuss these issues with the students, says Julie DAmore, prevention specialist at Valley Mental Health in Summit County. With open discussions, both at home and in school, students have a involved with substance abuse and stand a greater chance of being able to turn away from these problems. "Prevention is the key, DAmore said. "Its easier to prevent a problem then it is to fix it. Thats why a unified effort to teach youth the benefits of being drag free is needed to put a halt to the growing problem. Ribbon Week is a great way for the people to show their support. Citizens are asked to wear the ribbons to show their commitment to healthy and safe lifestyles.
