Show Page 2 Wednesday, April 13, 1977 Letters to the Editor Tasteful Refurbishing Editor: With the rapid increase in population and the inherent desirability of the Park City environs, growth and expansion expan-sion are inevitable. A careful look around the town, however, reveals many old buildings in the initial stages of decay. Tasteful refurbishing refur-bishing at this point in time is greatly needed. At the peak of Park City's mining history, the population rose to 10,000. The capacity to accommodate is here, but we must proceed with care and be spurred on by wise and knowledgeable judgments rather than by the dollar sign. For example, the old timers engineered the extensive system of wooden stairs throughout our town. What makes us so superiorinferior as to have to rely on an offensive polluter of a bus or a precarious trolley system? Several passages keep running through my head as I think over Park City's future. One is a quote by John Saylor which appears Thanks To A 11 Editor: The Park City Chamber of Commerce and the U.S. Ski Team staff would like to thank all those who so graciously helped to make the Easter Parade a success. The community participation par-ticipation proved to be both creative and colorful and spectators appeared entertained enter-tained and caught up in the spirit of a warm, untypical Easter afternoon in Park City. Your usual style was apparent Park City, "funky and fun", which is what sets us apart from the others and makes us what we are a very special community .

Comm Dropped A lawsuit filed against the Park City Planning Commission Com-mission by resident William Henrion has been dropped. Henrion initiated legal action against the commission after it granted a conditional use permit to Robert Johnston for a shopping mall-complex at the bottom of Main Street. Johnston's property is adjacent ad-jacent to Henrion's Park Avenue residential property. A December 2 appeal to City Council was denied. Park City Attorney Nick Colessides said a letter sent to him by Henrion's attorney, attorn-ey, Robert Felton, stated that Henrion and Johnston "have resolved their differences." differ-ences." When he appeared before the council at the December appeal hearing, Felton said Henrion was contesting the conditional use permit due to Editor.

'VMM! in the April edition of the Uinta News: "We need wilderness for yet a more fundamental, more profound purpose, for in the wilderness we can get our brearings. We can keep from getting blinded in our great human success to the fact that we are part of the life of this planet, and we would do well to keep our perspectives and keep in touch with some of the basic facts of life." Good-bye Deer Valley! Another, a bit more alarming, alar-ming, is a prophetic Biblical quote reprinted on a picture postcard by the Grand Canyon Natural History Association: "Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth." ear-th." -Isaiah 5:8 Good luck to the City Planners.

Thanks again, Amanda Peterson; Park City - Chamber of Commerce the "scanty evidence" under which it was approved. At that time, the attorney contended Johnston's project, pro-ject, which has not been started, "is not in the best interests of the community." He said the complex would present parking problems and that Henrion would be forced to endure a forty-foot wall described as a "monolith" "mono-lith" which would cause the "obliteration of light" from Henrion's backyard. Felton also asserted the project would make the back of the Henrion residence inaccessible to emergency vehicles. The attorney said he would take the matter to the courts if the permit were not revoked but, after only five minutes of discussion, the City Council rejected the appeal. en Steve Austin Sam Baldoni Anita Storen f The Park City Chamber of Commerce invites you to participate in the 8th Annual Park City Arts Festival.

What kind of job do you feel Jimmy Jim-my Carter is doing as President? Steve Austin - Jimmy who? Cork Crandall -1 feel he has done a good job. I expecially like his stand on the human rights issue. Sam Baldoni -1 think President Carter is doing a great job of restoring middle America's faith in government. He is very strong willed and foreign governments are a bit afraid of him. Keep up the good work Uncle Jimmy ! Doti Marden - Dealing in peanut butter has always been sticky business. Anita Storen (Malibu, Calif.) - He's been doing a pretty good job so far. He projects a great deal of confidence in things he says and actions he takes. He at least makes decision within a reasonable amount of time and, above all, peanut butter has never been smoother. Keri Thronberg (Malibu, Calif.) -1 really like President Carter. I think he's doing a great job. He stands up for what he believes in and has made some real stands in political hassels where I think others have not. I think the herring boat seizure was great and I hope he gets more of them. Overall, I think Carter makes a great president but I wouldn't want him to tune-up my car. Notification of acceptance or rejection will reach you prior to July 20, 1977.

CHAMBER MEETING Chamber of Commerce Board meeting, Thursday, Thur-sday, April 28, 1977, at 9:00 a.m. Location to be announced. City Hires Dogcatcher With a turnover rate exceeding ex-ceeding the combined husband hus-band count of Zaza Gabor and Elizabeth Taylor, Park City's animal control officer post must have something going against it. But the latest in the parade of dog catchers views the job as "quite a challenge." Tricia Hansen was hired by City Manager Wayne Matthews Mat-thews Monday to contend with the town's wayward dog population. Ms. Hansen, who has a background in security work and an ambition to be a policewoman, ways she is not afraid of being hounded by irate pet owners. "I can take harrassment quite well." The Salt Lake City resident said, "I'm really grateful for the opportunity." The "opportunity" "op-portunity" started yesterday. yester-day. A former professional dog breeder, Tricia says, "I get along real well with dogs," and she professess no fear of the larger variety. The new animal control officer lived for a time in Kamas and noted that she has "been in and out of Park City for a long time." "Park City is one of my favorite places," she added. It remains to be seen if that fondness will be altered by a few encounters with some of the less congenial canines and-or their owners here. 3 |
