Cable Channel 12 Sunday 10:00 am & Midnight Monday 8:30 am An election primer BY TOM CLYDE There is an election on Tuesday for City residents. County residents don't get to vote on who runs the library they didn't build, although they will get to vote on a vacancy on the Snyderville Basin Sewer Improvement District Board. If that isn't enough to have you changing your vacation plans, I don't know what will. There has been relatively little interest in this year's election, even among those of us who make a pretty good living schmoozing City Hall I guess there has been some campaigning going on, but nothing with much excitement to it. What little debate we've heard has been conducted in that wonderful kind of "election-speak" "election-speak" where no answers have any substance. After intensive grilling in the KPCW interrogation chamber, we are left with the sense that most of the candidates are generally in favor of motherhood, assuming it is by choice and doesn't impair a woman's career opportunities. The candidates are also in general agreement on the issue of apple pie. It is acceptable as long as it is made with organically grown apples picked by unionized farm workers, and not served with any cholesterol-laced ice cream- perhaps with frozen yogurt. The flag receives general approval among our candidates. But with one or two exceptions, they are all speaking to us in code. I think I have figured out what the code means. Here are a few definitions for Park City election terms: Managed Growth: I still rent, and hope to buy a great big house as soon as my "ex" can unload that dump we're stuck with in LaJolla. Controlled Growth : I got out of Newport Beach just in time. I've got mine. Slam the door. Higher prices can only help when I decide to move back to LaJolla. Appropriate Densities: Nobody without a Gold Card needs to live in this subdivision. If price is a factor, you might consider Heber. By the way, would you mind taking out the trash when you leave by the back door? Developer: An evil, miserable, scum-bag who rips up the sensitive mountain environment and paves natural wildlife habitat in order to build 6,000 square foot houses for people who believe in Controlled Growth. City Staff: Highly trained and highly paid professionals who take orders from elected officials who usually don't have a clue what is going on. City Staff is responsible for Administrative Acts. It is the role of the Council to make Policy Decisions, and the role of the Gty Staff to implement Policy Decisions and perform Administrative Acts. Policy Decision: Some wild hare notion dictated by elected officials that is contrary to the best professional judgment of the City Staff. Administrative Act: A policy decision that has completely run amok. Employee: Somebody living in a household with an income of less than $100,000, particularly those unfortunates whose trust fund is already drained; poor people. Affordable Housing: A good idea, as long as it is someplace else, like Kamas or Heber. Urban Blight: Affordable housing in your neighborhood. Poor People: This is a denigrative term that cannot be used in the '90s without causing great offense. The correct term is "Financially Challenged Person", or sometimes "Persons of Financial Challenge". Financially Challenged Person: The very kind of riffraff we don't want living around here because they leave old domestic cars in the front yard and don't know how to choose a good white wine. See Poor People and K-Mait K-Mart: A store that does not carry Ralph Lauren; a mecca for the Financially Challenged; no place to leave your Range Rover parked overnight, even if your CD player is the kind you can pull out of the dash and take with you. K-Mart K-Mart is so odious that it is not even acceptable in the County, where a surprisingly high number of Financially Challenged Persons are tolerated because they actually scraped up a down payment and bought the place. Diversity: The mixture of people from all social and economic backgrounds that makes life resort towns interesting. Park City is very diverse, having wealthy Episcopalians from all over the country. Diversity is a tricky concept, since too much Diversity begins to look like Urban Blight. Waste in Government: Any expenditure that the audience at the moment may not approve of, particularly xeriscape gardens, planters in front of Marsac, and any consideration of providing Employee Housing; provided however that if the candidate is speaking at the Alamo (a most unlikely prospect!) Waste In Government means sidewalks in Park Meadows. Efficiency in Government: More toys for local residents paid for by taxing second homes and other people who just visit here. The Racquet Club is a great example of efficiency in government, although there have been alarming sightings of Financially Challenged People playing basketball there. Sidewalks : Wide concrete pathways adjoining public streets that are viewed by children as they are driven to school in Mommy's Range Rover. See Efficiency in government. Citizens Task Force: A mechanism to distract groups of especially whiny, busybody citizens by appointing them to a special committee to study problems that cannot be solved and may in fact not exist. Conservative: My grandparents on the East Coast left me a huge trust fund. Liberal: My parents in L.A. left me a huge trust fund. Apolitical: Nobody left me no trust fund. So you see, this election is really pretty easy. There are some advantages to living in the County. 4n3ke sa Venim A palette of patterns BY TEIH ORB Everyone's been talking about them this week-how week-how they arrived in town overnight, how startling their presence is, how remarkable their cover. And there is really no segment of town that hasn't been touched Old Town, Deer Valley, the Park City Ski Area, out to Jeremy Ranch. Their appearance ap-pearance always crosses all drawn boundaries and fences and depending on how ycu make your livelihood they can make you real restless. Admit it last week sometime, you just looked up at some point in your day, and you couldn't help but spot them. And then you wondered why you didn't notice them sooner. The leaves are changing and the town is ablaze with color. Red! Orange! Yellow! Gold! Some still Green! All soon to be Brown and then bare. But right now, these primary colors that produce those primal responses are a symphony to the senses everywhere you look. The hillsides are like some patchwork crazy quilt a piece of color there, woven together by some evergreens to a different, snipet of color here. I've always loved the fall. The house I grew up in in California had huge oak trees in the front yard, and while I hated helping mother rake, I loved lov-ed jumping in the piles of crunchy leaves. When we lived in Tahoe and the children were in preschool, pre-school, their teacher was this amazing woman who seemed to hold the keys for unlocking the secrets of nature to small children, and she did it in such a way that we parents fought to go on field trips. In the fall we would travel to this hidden hiking hik-ing trail the teacher knew where the aspens and maples always seemed to turn first (or so she had us all believing) and the salmon would swim upstream in the fresh water in their annual migration. migra-tion. We would pack shiny red apples and hunks of cheese and we came home dirty and tired and with all kinds of beautiful veined leaves to press bet ween pages next to the last wildflowers of summer. sum-mer. On Monday, four of us sat outside at Stein's for a friend's birthday lunch. I should have grabbed the fall sweater I keep in the trunk of the car right now. It was beautiful and sunny but just a titch crisp. And the colors. Wow! The ride up the mine road is simply a must right now. Even the normally normal-ly camera impaired would be hard pressed not to take some memorable shots. This is the time of year I find it difficult not being be-ing in my car driving on back roads gathering leaves and watching clear water jump rocks in creeks. Most of the livestock are still in their summer sum-mer pastures, and out in the county the scenery is spectacular. We have finished the summer event season and for the next few weeks we get to renew friendships and start to adjust to changes ahead. You can find a booth at the Mt. Aire for breakfast again and a place to park at the post office. Go to the market anytime you want and find the shelves fully stocked stock-ed and just the right length of time to visit with familair faces in the checkout line. The library has spaces to sit and be quiet and all kinds of stories waiting to be discovered on long lazy afternoons. There are paths to hike or ride on where you rarely see anyone else on the trail. At the right time of day you can find a free swing at the park this I know. And it strikes a vein with me there is a certain energy in the air that doesn't last long and needs-like needs-like the first grass clippings of summer and big fat flakes of winter to be captured. You learn after a few seasons in the mountains that overnight the hillsides can change, overnight a season arrives without notice, overnight that which was certain becomes variable. Pay attention! The colors seem to scream right now " you don't know how long we'll last..." Tired of news, new, news? Want to see some real action? Check out this week's Sports Section on B1. It's jammed full of athletic artistry! |
