Show Escalante Is Not "Anti-Environmentalist" This letter is written in response to two telephone calls recently received re-ceived by the Chamber of Commerce Com-merce in Escalante, Utah. These two "gentlemen" left messages on the chamber phone but chose not to leave telephone numbers for return calls.- The theme of their calls was concerning an article recently published pub-lished in the Salt Lake Tribune stating that the people in Escalante are "anti-environmentalist". They also stated that they loved this area and came here often, but now that they jiave read this article, they plan to no longer come here and spenjj "lots of money". To these gentlemen gentle-men I would like to say this; if you believe everything you see, read and hear, I have a large piece of dry land in the Florida Everglades that I would be most happy to sell to you. There is a very diverse opinion opin-ion concerning environmental issues is-sues in this area, but it is obvious that you didn't check that out. If you are this narrow-minded, maybe we don't want you here. Linda Mansell Escalante |
