T-he Utah Community Pro-press Pro-press Program was established establish-ed in 1974 to aid communities in ".ordering priorities and coordinating efforts among interested community service groups and offers state-wide recognition to communities showing the greatest developmental progress. pro-gress. " Rating Communities participating in -the program will be rated on a 100 point basis with the accomplishment of goals receiving a maximum of 50 paints and the areas of community involvement and future goals and commitments commit-ments receiving up to 25 points each. Several weeks ,ago, the judges were given a progress book compiled .by city officials which contained pictures of municipal imporvements, a narrative of accomplishments and newspaper news-paper clippings relating to civic -' progress. Areas addressed by the study group included economic , development, culture, history and ' the arts, community involvement, youth involvement, physical environment, recreation and intergovernmental cooperation. coopera-tion. Comprehensive Plan To provide a basis for- , comparison of goals and ac complishments, the city used "the 1973 Comprehensive Plan. The Comprehensive Plan stated ten objectives, includ-ing includ-ing maintenance of desired : densities and open spaces in new residential areas, encouragement encour-agement of general harmony ' of architectural styles in new residential areas, preserva-tion preserva-tion of the historic scale and image of the old part of town,- ' encouragement of commercial commerc-ial development into clusters in appropriate areas and protection of scenic moun-, tain slopes from develop-Jnent. develop-Jnent. Progress in these areas was connected with the proposed Land Management. Code which has been years in the making and which will be voted on this month. , Other Goals Improvement of the Main' Street business district was another objective cited by the Comprehansive Plan and city officials pointed to the. creation of the Main Street Special Improvement District Dist-rict as a step in this direction. The city noted ongoing talks with the State Highway High-way Commission concerning a north-south thoroughfare parallel to Park Avenue which was recommended by the 1973 study. The addition of lights for the Softball field and construction con-struction of new tennis courts in the city park were shown to 'the, judges to . demonstrate progress in park expansion suggested by the plan. The city's 50 percent cost contribution : to sidewalk improvements in the Main Street area, matched with merchant payments, was presented as a move toward the goal of improving city streets and sidewalks. The creation of the Park City Fire Protection District and the purchase of a fast attack truck were put forth as positive steps in the area of fire protection. Other indications of community progress noted shown the judges were the Chamber of Commerce office and central reservations center, the Kimball Art Center, the site of the .recently arrived Senior Citizens Center, the moder- ate income housing project being erected in the Holiday Ranch area and the new high school presently under construction. con-struction. Decker said "good planning and control of development" . were given special mention by the judges. "We've seen a Park City we've never seen before," commented judge Wesley T. Maughn, staff member of the Utah Community Progress : Program. ; "Park City has hit its stride," was the comment of another judge. . ' Awards Five teams of judges are evaluating participating communities throughout Utah. After the individual evaluations are completed, the teams will gather to compare notes and decide which towns are deserving of recognition. An awards banquet will be held the first week in November. "I think our chances of winning some type of commendation are good," Park City Recorder-Treasurer Decker surmised. the state, counties and cities are empowered to perform different functions! This county has given in to pressures of development and is trying to provide, municipal-type services which should be the domain of incorporated areas. "I'm not advocating city expansion to swallow outlying outly-ing areas. But areas which are allowed to develop urban-type densities should be forced to incorporate so . that they can pay their own way instead of throwing the burden on Summit County. . "There is a simple mathematical math-ematical formula that can be applied to subdivisions which will give you not only -the initial start up costs of a new community but also the continuing service fees which must be levied to make a development self-supporting. . If new developments are not made to pay their own way they will be subsidized by existing county residents and become a leech on the taxpayers." Decker continued, "I plan to stay in Summit County and raise my family here. I don't want to see all of us who live here now put behind the eight-ball due to an absence of economic plann-ing. plann-ing.

For those too young to recall the film, The Blob was McQueen's first starring role, and revolves around a giant amoebic mass which is determined to destroy a small town. In addition to The Blob, the film series includes such classic horror films as The Attack of the Crab Monstersv The House of Wax, starring . Vincent Price, with Charles Branson as his assistant, I Was A Teenage Werewolf and its counterpart, I Was A Teenage Frankenstein, The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, Them and a special Halloween showing of House on Haunted Hill. While the series is meant to bring back the fun of the spine-tingler, the series as a whole is a graphic illustration illustra-tion of the underlying fear which ,' pervaded1 the McCarthy era. The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, for instance, seen with this point in mind, is easily recognizable recogniz-able as a thinly disguised parable of the threat of Communist takeover. Originally, the series was to be shown in the Kimball Art Center, but V delays in construction have forced it to be moved to the TMI.

Having a true Park City voice on the county commission might negate the need for creating a new county, depending on how receptive the other commissioners commiss-ioners are to needed change.". The recorder said the differences which exist between be-tween Park City and Summit County are not. irreconcil-v able. "There's no doubt in my mind that the county and ; Park City can construct a mutually beneficial relationship relation-ship which can maximize the long-range goals of each." Chances .. . Assessing his chances for victory, Decker said,"I know it will be difficult to convince the Coalville and Kamas areas that a qualified and knowledgeable commissioner from Park City can serve their best interests, although I believe this to be true. So, it will take the full and united' support of the Park City and Summit Park voters to be elected. iiiissaailiiiiiip:: i ''tig g-i--.fr: .-. ( '..r. '.

"Right For The Future" In conclusion, Decker stated, "The people here want a representative commissioner comm-issioner interested in what is right for the future rather thanswhat has been in the past."
