By allowing hotel "exceptions" the Planning Commission can "accept or reject" hotels in general commercial areas, depending on their accessibility, accessi-bility, he said. "Sometimes it's very difficult to say arbitrarily it's good for you and not good for someone else," Watts responded. He then said the matter would be studied further. Prospector Ridge Revised plans for the proposed Prospector Ridge development were reviewed by the commission. Van Martin, a planner for J.J. Johnson John-son and Assoc., said roads within the project had been redesigned and that turnarounds and cul de sacs had been altered in response to commission suggestions. In addition, large lots on the upper slopes of the site had been eliminated, replaced with multi-family multi-family units on the lower portions. The revised plan calls for 106 multi-family multi-family units and 54 single family lots on the sloping ground south of Day's Continued From Page 1 who were part of the J.C. Penney family. The Golden Rule was a version ver-sion of a Penney's, selling clothing and other items on a small scale. They rented the building from Mrs. Wilcox until in 1916 they purchased the ground across the street from George Quinn. A threatre once had stood in the lot, but caved in, and the Brand's moved their Golden Rule across the stret into their new building. Sam and Belle Brand never bought a home in Park City, but lived instead in the New Park Hotel. While on a buying trip to Salt Lake City about 1935, Sam died at the Hotel Utah. Belle left for Denver and took up residence in a suite of rooms at the Brown Palace Hotel. A Safeway store operating on Main Street moved into the Golden Rule. Some Parkites remember the building being vacant for a few years, while others recall a jewelry store being there until the Reseigh's moved in in 1947. But before the Reseigh's moved to Main Street, they operated the West-tide West-tide store from 1937 to 194ftXtto)l' Cook's office on Park Avenue across from the Coalition Building. "We had the Westside, which was a grocery store, and then we bought the Main Street store," Mrs. Reseigh said. "I told my husband that he'd be up there most of the time, so we might as well name it after him. So it was Earle's Market. We had a liquor store in there for eight years it was the best in the state." Critical Need For Help Continued From Page 1 department, and like all counties, they have been on a two-year probation. "Before he resigned, Bob Schapper brought to the attention of the county that they need to do certain things if they want to be called a health department. depart-ment. Right now they have no dental consultant or other health educators. And they need to, by law, to qualify. The two years is up this month and the situation is if they don't do what is necessary to qualify, they can't run an EMT service out of the county." Dr. Schwenk, who is the medical consultant to the county health board and a Park city ambulance regular, commented that the city is in danger of losing its volunteer support because the few available are overburdened. "This will never be adequate as a volunteer service here in Park City," Schwenk said. "People can only give of themselves so much when there is no public or governmental support. And what happens in the county will determine if there will be that governmental govern-mental support." In the meantime Park City's ambulance am-bulance service must operate on a volunteer basis. What does it take to become an emergency medical technician? About 130 hours of training. Classes are taught mostly by doctors at Westminster College and Utah State University two nights a week for four hours, and all day Saturday, for two months. The cost of the program is about $375, which Shellenberger said the city is willing to pay for anyone interested in taking the course. tt "We really need more help, Shellenberger said. "It's happened that durine the dav only one EMT will an swer a call, and a volunteer fireman Prospector Square. Saying the new plan "looks more palatable," Watts told Martin the commission would walk the site again before making a decision. Antenna Opposition Park City's cable television service ran into interference when complaints were voiced over the location of a proposed 100-foot receiving antenna. Architect John Carbine told the commission the antenna has to be placed near the cable office for engineering reasons. Plans call for the office to be in Prospector Square and the visual impact at that site was the major concern of those opposed to the receiving facility. "I have some problems with a 100-foot tower," Commissioner Mike Vance said. "The height of the tower is just awesome." Carbine responsded, "It's the nature of the beast that we have to have the antenna. We're doing everything we can to mitigate the impact." The cable station's engineer claimed the Prospector location "was the best signal we could find" and said any delays in construction would postpone Market To The store was Earle's Market until six years ago last January, when Mrs. Reseigh leased it to Gerald Day. Although Day has two more years remaining on the lease agreement, he recently opened two new stores aside from his Heber market, and found the sale of the building to be at an opportune oppor-tune time. Mrs. Reseigh said she was born in and lived in the Woodside Avenue home now known as the "Calico Cottage" for 69 years before she moved to her present home in Salt Lake. She said in the years she spent in Park City as a Main Street merchant, the Reseigh name never appeared in print. "We went IGA when we started Earle's," Mrs. Reseigh said, "and we didn't advertise in the Park Record then because we were carried in the Salt Lake Tribune, which everyone in town got. But that made them angry, and they never paid any attention to us after that." Mrs. Reseigh said the only changes she and her husband made to. the building after they moved in were to paint it and to add an awning. She noted that new owner Bernolfo intends to research the building's history and rehabilitate it to its original appearance. ap-pearance. "The building is on the National Register of Historic Places in Washington, Washing-ton, D.C.," Bernolfo commented Tuesday. "We're going to look over the abstracts and have an architect will have to drive the ambulance. Fortunately, For-tunately, there have been very few instances in-stances where no one responds." Park City's emergency operation is serviced by three ambulances, and covers an area of 90 square miles.. .a difficult task when only three people are available during the day. Suzanne Shellenberger also is an EMT and has served Park City for the past three years. "It is the most valuable kind of work there is," she commented. "There are nights when it's cold, and it seems depressing and yuccky, but the rewards are felt immediatelywhen im-mediatelywhen you do something right you know right away. "In three years I've only oc-cassionally oc-cassionally been bummed out," Mrs. Shellenberger continued. "All of us mind seeing accidents, but we do the best we can. The bulk of our runs, though, are rather mundane. In the winter it's usually a broken leg from skiing and it's a matter of riding along in the ambulance to the hospital." Mrs. Shellenberber said everyone responds to the call of the emergency beeper at night with those living closer to the fire station manning the ambulance, and the others going right to the scene. "But during the day the situation is critical," she emphasized. "It's happened hap-pened where I'm the only one who goes to the station, so I call Coalville dispatch, and a fireman will come drive the ambulance while I administer ad-minister to the patient. Driving the ambulance is an awesome responsibilityyou respon-sibilityyou know there's someone hurt in the back and that someone else is trying to give medical attention, so vou have to trv to keep things steady. But I've never gotten to the scene of an service until next year. The proponents said similar antennas an-tennas have not evoked adverse coments in other cities. However, they did say they would consider a shorter version or another location if feasible. When it was apparent that concerns over the antenna would not be resolved at the meeting, Watts called for a public hearing on the matter. It was suggested that photographs of the proposed site be supplied with overlays showing the antenna. The public hearing will be held at the Prospector Square Conference Center at 7:30 on Wednesday, October 10. Violations Multi-family units being constructed by Jim Lynn on Park Avenue came under scrutiny by the commission. The commissioners said the units seem to vary from the approved plans, with setbacks, parking and landscaping requirements being the major concerns. It was decided that the project will be inspected and a recommendation made. "There's no question in my mind," Commissioner Rusty Davidson said, "there's some real problems there." Close try to put it back the way it was. It's going to be really nice." Bernolfo said Tuesday Gerald Day plans to vacate the historic building by October 15, and work will commence com-mence immediately replacing shelves with tables and freezers with coolers for beer kegs. If all goes as planned, the new restaurant will open its doors for business shortly before Christmas. The new owner said the restaurant, which has already been dubbed "Jody's" by friends, will be similar in style to Salt Lake's Haggis wooden floors, lots of plants, a long wooden bar, perhaps old-fashioned fans rotating slowly in the ceiling. Bernolfo said the menu will be a mixture of seafood, beef and chicken. While waiting for a seat in the 100-person 100-person restaurant, patrons can sip on a cold one at a bar that will feature beer tapped through cold pipes from the building's coolers in the basement. Partner in the enterprise is Stuart Felton, and both feel the Main Street business will be a boon to the older part of town. "People have said in the past they're worried about the commercial development moving to the north end of town," Bernolfo said. "A nice restaurant on Main Street will keep business up this way." Bernolfo said future plans include the addition of a luncheon menu, a liquor license and dancing after dinner. din-ner. But for now the emphasis is on good food, good beer and a good time. emergency and been the only one there. "Ideally, we would have a paid squad," Suzanne continued. "We're coming to that. And frankly, none of use would be sorry to lose our jobs ! ' ' Mrs. Shellenberger noted that she also is a volunteer firefighter for Park City. "Until now, you had to be a firefighter to be an EMT,' she noted. "Medical work has been a traditional field for women, and being an EMT would seem logical. But I think having to be a firefighter first may have been a roadblock. Now the by-laws have been changed, and we hope that will encourage more women to volunteer tobeEMTs." As for her firefighting capabilities, Mrs. Shellenberger said, "I know I am less efficient than the men because I lack the mechanical ability and strength they have. But they are extremely encouraging. And there are things I can do that will free the men to fight the fire. You always need someone to man the ambulance, and to maintain the water pressure from the pumper truck. If the pressure isn't constant, you can knock a man over holding a water hose. "But our greater need right now is for more people on the ambulance crew," Mrs. Shellenberger said. "We really need the help. And I can't emphasize em-phasize enough what a warm feeling it gives you to do that kind of work. It's so rewarding."
