The convention brought to town 800 participants consisting consist-ing of firemen and their wives. Most of the fire departments in the state were represented, both paid and volunteer. The convention involved a series of business meetings, two dances, demonstrations, demon-strations, a memorial service for departed members, a demonstration by lady members of the Park City Fire Department, a barbeque. Ladies Auxiliary Auxili-ary sessions, and a parade. The final day of the gathering was set aside for the election of officers for 1977-78. Sirens howling and bells clanging, this year's parade was quoted as being the biggest in the history of the convention with antique cars and the oldest and newest of fire equipment on display. Park City's treasure, a 1927 Graham Brothers, proudly joined the array. Donated by the Wildernoth & Archer Morticians of years past, the converted hearse fought fires up until approximately approximate-ly ten years ago, dousing the flames of a home in Summit Park, in its final battle, before the entire fire-fighting crew reached the scene. Trophies were awarded to parade participants. The categories ranged i best appearance, largest single Tepre-sentation Tepre-sentation from a department, fire prevention to comedy. Several Park City residents served as high ranking officers of the organization in 1976-77. President of the Association was Tom Sullivan; Earne Anderson served as Sgt. of Arms and Paul Kofford as Chaplm. True to Tom Sullivan's prediction early in the convention, the First Vice President of the Association during 76-77, William Clough of Sandy, was advanced to the presidency for the upcoming year. Likewise, Ed Dempke of American Oil, Second Vice President during 76-77, was advanced to the spot of First Vice President. Floyd Stewart of Springville was. elected Second Vice President during the Saturday morning election. Joe Dispenza of Bingham was elected as a Trustee. Holdover officers include Joe Caldwell, Tooele, Secretary; Albert Barnus, Grantsville, Assist. Secretary; Earl Healy, Murray, Treasurer; Sam Vicchrelli, Murray, Assist. Treasurer; James Toone, Mammoth, Trustee; Easton Lilchty, Logan, Trustee; Fred Booth. St. George, Trustee and Marvin Kimball, Salt Lake City, Trustee. Many Park City firefighters were given awards for years of service to the department. Receiving twenty-five year awards were: Mel Fletcher, Tom Sullivan, Farrell Whellwright, Harold Williams, and Earne Anderson. Those receiving ten year awards were: Gary Frantz, Paul Koffard, Willard Larsen, Robert Reese, James Santy, Brent Snow, David Sundquist, and James Weaver. Some astounding facts were brought out during the course of the convention. For example, there are 40 school fires in the United States each day. Figures from the Utah State Fire Marshall's Office show that during 1976 in Utah alone there were 64 fires in public schools, 71 fires in Utah colleges and universities and 1 private school fire. During the convention bids were accepted for the site of next year's convention. Tom Sullivan will be the 77-78 convention chairman. The Park City Department received plaudits for an unusual convention, hosted in an old time Park City fashion. Solar Heat Is Here ! "It's here! Solar heating systems are available from industries all over the country," says Berner Chesnutt, solar designer for "Energy Systems"-a division divi-sion of American Unitec Inc. Berner, a Ph.D. scientist, former lift electrician for Park City Resort, and a 3 year resident of Park City, explains that his corporation is a branch from the original "Liftronix" started by John Bryce. Besides the solar designer, "Energy Systems" is composed compos-ed of architect Joe Mitchell of Salt Lake City, and general contractor Billy Groves. Although the company provides lift maintenance and electrical services, solar power and eco-homes are the hottest items on their agenda. Sitting beside his desk, loaded with manuals from the federal Energy Research and Development Agency, the American Society of Heat, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, of which Chemutt is a member, and the National Aeronautical and Space Administration, he concisely summed up his objectives and the basics of solar energy: According to Chesnutt, the first factors to be taken into consideration are the climate and geographic data of a given area. The primary questions are: 1. the percentage of cloudy day-time hours and 2. heating andor cooling requirements. requiremen-ts. If it's cold, heat is needed and if it's warm, solar assisted refrigeration is needed. He explained that much progress has bejn made in the area of solar heating, and that much of the current research and development lies in the field of solar-assisted cooling systems. "Utah is a prime climate for solar heat," says Chesnutt, "because of the large percentage of clear days; solar heating in winter is quite feasible here." He explains further that the most economically efficient way to install a solar heating system is in a new building. "Although systems can be retrofitted to an existing structure, the basic building design is more important than the solar hardware," says Chesnutt. The ideal structure, he says, is very well insulated and acts as a passive energy system. That is, the entire system acts as a passive solar collector and heat storage unit in the winter so that inside (the home, office or industrial plant) is light, warm and cozy; in the summer, Continued on Page 8 3BG SHE 3QG 30G SEJG 30G 3QE 101 3QE WEITHEK Generally fair Friday through Sunday.

He has been in town this week getting to know the people and the needs of the town he will be working with as the new facility opens for classes in the fall . "I am looking forward with interest and enthusiasm in getting started," he said in an interview, admitting that being a new administrator in a new school was a rare and challenging opportunity. Stating he is not the "lone ranger," Dozier plans to work closely with the teachers at the school, using their input and needs to guide his decisions for the school. "This will be a team exercise," the former football coach said. Goals Asked about his goals for the new high school, Dozier, an open, amiable man, expressed his concern with providing Park City students with a quality education. "Each student should have the opportunity to realize his highest potential, be that in academics, sports or other extracurricular activities. "I am a basic fundamentalist," he said. "I stress teaching communication skills of reading, writing, and speaking well as first priority." But he also strives for excellence in all programs. "First we need to get this school running, keep it runring and then offer as complete a program of extra activities as possible." Board "I was very impressed with the (School) Board when I was interviewed. inter-viewed. They were quite thorough, concerned con-cerned and well-informed." He mentioned men-tioned that he felt he would not be considered con-sidered seriously for the job because of his lack of administrative experience. However, his doctorate in educational administration and the strength and con-lidence con-lidence with which he discusses his new position exudes his leadership qualities. His honest and sincere approach should go long in helping him deal with this diverse population of ours. "I see a rare opportunity with the Board, the Superintendent and two new administrators, to create an upward, out-reaching out-reaching educational team," he said, hoping to work closely with Dr Goodwor-h Goodwor-h to achieve the goals set lor the new chool. Comm. Hears Holy Cross Proposal The apparent inability to get together on the value of facilities, land, and an established medical practice appears to be leading to a breakup in the brief marriage between the financially troubled trou-bled Summit Medical Clinic and Salt Lake City's Holy Cross Hospital. Late in the June 8th Planning Commission meeting commissioner Bob Wells related to the rest of the members he had been approached by officials of Holy Cross Regarding the need for a full time, year round medical facility in Park City. Needing more time to locate, and purchase a suitable sight upon which a permanant clinic could be constructed, and at the same time being mindful of the dangers in letting professional medical attention lapse, led these administrators to propose a temporary facility be errected on a parcel of land behind the Mt. Air Mall adjacent to the Silver King State Bank and the Mt. Air Market. Holy Cross proposes a temporary building containing 800 sq. feet (20x40) be placed on the alley easement presently Continued on Page 9 Discipline "Having coached football. I'm a disciplinarian but by the same token, I will leaven discipline with genuine interest in-terest in growing up with kids." He emphasized em-phasized that he believes in treating each student and each case individually, and in listening to youngsters, he will be as compassionate and responsive as he can be. On the subject of discipline, he outlines his "Four-F" policy: fairness, friendliness, frankness, and firmness of ... purpose. But where the academic atmosphere at-mosphere is threatened, the needs of the whole student body must prevail over the individual. Background Born and raised in the hills of Kentucky, Ken-tucky, Dr, Dozier felt he would be able to relate easily to the problems of a small town high school. His father was a coal miner and as a. boy he too worked in the mines between school sessions. First coming to the west while in the service, he returned to attend the Univeristy of Gunnison for his B.A. degree. After graduation, he served as football coach in Nevada and later at the University of Idaho, where he served as a coach also, he received his master's degree. For the next eleven years he worked in Woodland, California teaching and coaching. ; In 1973 he came to Salt Lake City to obtain ob-tain his Ph.D. at the University of Utah, specializing in educational law. He also owns a business and educational law consulting firm in Salt Lake City, which advises Boards of Education on legal matters Continued on Page 9 Chief Takes A Break Steve Dering, editor of The Newspaper, better known as "the chief," finally consented to take a two week's leave of absence from the bustling ( to put it mildly ! ) newspaper office. Speculation is that the editor, vacationing in sunny southern California, Califor-nia, was drawn to the ocean to participate par-ticipate in a local Kedondo Beach surfing championship. The chief admitted thai he would like to add "shooting the pier" to his list of accomplishments. Dering, whose departing words were, "Don't call me; I'll call you," is rumored to have the infamous Clara Voyant as his traveling companion. riiiijMannii L-nariEr !
