Serving Summit County since 1880 com ij mi wow Donations help to keep Miners safe by Shane McCammon OF THE RECORD STAFF John Beck had no idea where he was. After taking a mean shot to the head, he stumbled off the field, mum-! mum-! bling to himself and probably seeing ; double, maybe triple. While Beck had to sit out the next game due to the minor concussion, things could have been a lot worse for the Park City Miners' linebacker had he not had a new, safe helmet. Safe football equipment is not cheap. Park City coach Mike Shepherd figures it costs $400 per player to have quality equipment such as helmets and shoulder pads. And because football equipment by nature wears but within a few years, high school programs find themselves in a perpetual budget crunch. Thatls why donations to the team like the one made recently by the Silver Mountain Sports Club and Spa are so important to the players, the coaches and even the community. During Homecoming Week last month, the club donated $1300 to the football team, allowing Shepherd to use the cash to help pay for new helmets -ordered over the summer. Shepherd called the gesture "gigantic," "gigan-tic," adding the direct cash donation "really takes the pressure off." Stanton Jones, co-owner of the club, ! decided to conduct the fundraiser when he noticed an invoice for new helmets on the desk of the schools assistant principal, Bob O'Connor. "We stepped up and helped pay for some of it," Jones said. "We try to do things for the community and help out wherever we can." For a week, the club donated $100 of every $150 one-time fee paid by new members because Jones was concerned the Miners didnt have the necessary safety equipment, especially after a rash of concussions last season. "I thought it was a good way to donate some cash they so desperately needed," he said. "We wanted to make sure the kids had proper helmets and .safety equipment." Shepherd, whose team conducts its own fundraisers during the offseason, says its extremely expensive to outfit a large program such as his. Complicating matters is the wear-and-tear equipment like a helmet takes over the years. "It's really only good for three years," he said, adding one of his biggest priorities as the coach is to keep his team healthy. "I want to keep our kids' heads and bones protected." But to do that, Shepherd and his staff have to rely on the generosity of people who participate in the team's fundraisers and through unexpected donations from the community. Fortunately for him and guys like John Beck there are people in the community willing to help.

They created a board of directors and announced that from now on, decisions about the Farmers' Market will be made by the farmers themselves. "We don't believe the resort should own the market," said baker Volker Ritzinger Wednesday, from The Canyons, at the last Farmer's Market of the year. "The farmers know what they need the most." Ritzinger spearheaded the effort to organize the five-member board, which he said will make all decisions on who is allowed to sell their goods at the weekly market. The board, which met last week for the first time, includes two farmers, two food vendors and a crafts vendor. Ritzinger said he picked the vendors who draw the largest crowds, as well as those who have been at the market for its entire four-year history. Ritzinger said a string of events over the last month incited the vendors to organize. Already upset after Park City Mountain Resort forced the market to move off its parking lot because of Olympic-related construction, Ritzinger said he learned that PCMR refused organic Sundance Farms entrance into the market, while allowing in trinket vendors. bur-footed a JL 1 j "- i J Mo SCOTT SNEIPARK RECORD Four-year-old Reilly Falter receives a friendly kiss from a goat at the Colby School's fall festival Friday.

"We were disappointed." "That's not what the farmers' market stands for," said Ritzinger of what he charges is the acceptance of vendors who sell mass-produced items like sunglasses sun-glasses at the expense of local farmers. "It's not a flea market." So, the five board members decided that they would demand that current venue The Canyons provide them with at least a three-year contract, or they'd go somewhere else. Ritzinger said most vendors are happy with The Canyons, where they have sold goods for the past three Wednesdays. The Canyons appears to reciprocate that contentment. Canyons General manager Blaise Carrig said the Farmers' Market has been "wonderful," bringing activity and vitality to the resort's parking park-ing lot area. Carrig echoed the vendors board, saying say-ing The Canyons is interested in a long-term long-term relationship. He added the resort is comfortable with allowing the vendors to own and operate the market, and added he is open to talks of extending the market's season and allowing Ritzinger and others to return for more Wednesdays this fall. "We're just looking to provide a place and maybe some activities surrounding the market," Carrig said. Ritzinger said that through their newfound new-found autonomy, the vendors will be better able to create the kind of market they want, which might include more homemade goods, fewer trinkets, music, tables and chairs and a longer season.
