It is time for "Spring" and that is the time people get "ideas"! Come out and "jump for a change!" Change and Ideas that could mean many things. It could mean that the can of paint in the garage will be finally put on the walls in the extra bedroom! It could also mean that the room that used to be storage becomes a work room, and the work room changes into an office...which was upstairs and now is downstairs. That is a major change, but it is "spring" as we know it, which also could mean "re-arranging" from top to bottom in the house. Perhaps the house is okay for a few more days, but the "garage" has caught all of the non-winter items and now must be re-organized! That, too, I just fine, if and only if there is a place to put the items! Spring "is" just around the corner, and according to the plants, they are already confused because the weather has been a bit "crazy", too. Wonder what the next job awaits us – as is around the corner - right? Well, "Spring" is a fun time, a creative time, a time to plan ahead for summer vacations, to get families together while we have our warmer weather and to just enjoy one another's company! Maybe just getting together in the back yard and "jump" together! ....or...we could be off to make those plans, reservations, and call ahead to make sure that we get the "ideas" off the paper and make them happen...by trying something new!" Recycling Tip For The Week... Recycle Utah now accepting bike helmets and car seats Recycle Utah will take used or obsolete bike helmets for recycling. Drop off Monday – Saturday, 8am – 5:30pm inside the office at the Recycling Center. The collection of bike helmets is an expansion of the car seat collection program, in collaboration with the Summit County Health Department's 'Safe Kids'. Car seats expire within six years of being manufactured. It is important to stay up to date with new car seat models to ensure your child's safety. Outdated car seats should be properly disposed of as car seat plastic like any other plastic will take 1,000 years to decompose. Helmets and car seats are recycled into new plastic products such as piping for water, oil and sewage. For more information about 'Safe Kids' bike helmet and car seat recycling initiatives, visit injury.slcohealth.org . Recycle Utah is Park City's only non-profit community recycling center, recycling more than 50 different items, including hard-to-recycle items such as glass, EPS foam, and electronic waste. Recycle Utah's Warehouse Thrift Store diverts hundreds of tons of materials from the landfill every month and provides an affordable resource for local residents. And Recycle Utah's environmental education programs reach over 3,000 students in Summit and Wasatch Counties.

Old Happenings From Coalville Times 1913 Wahsatch Mrs. Jas. Staples returned Friday to her home in Coalville after spending pleasant visit with her daughter. Wright Bros have made a clean sweep with their threshing machine. They have been busy for about 10 days, threshing their own grain and the neighboring ranches of Castle Rock, having threshed 7,000 bushels of grain. "Pet Jacobson struck it lucky the other day. An auto traveling from CA to EL Paso, TX happened to break down in the Basin. Being too cold a climate for the owner, he sold it to Pete who later took the auto less man to Evanston where he boarded a train for the South. Look out for the new chauffer or he will tear your end gate out!" CT 20:44 31 Oct1913 p.1 1918 Bootlegging "Bootlegging continues and every once in a while 'bootleggers' are caught and punished. A fine catch was made Wednesday of this week - and because of the persistency and cleverness of Sheriff P.F. Ryan, the county is $200.00 better off for the wrong doing of the offender. Last Saturday a fellow named W.H. Russell, supposed to be of SL, was noticed in town and suspicion was directed against him by his carrying a valise in one of the up-town pool halls and coming out without it. No investi- gation was made at this time, however, Wednesday a Russell and his 'home-made Ford' machine was noticed in the Park again. He put up at the Park Garage and Marshal Tracy and Deputy Sheriff Jack Ryan went over and examined the car but found nothing except an empty whiskey bottle....by rough measurements it appeared that there was a false bottom to the car. For a time, Ryan could find no opening, Russell in the meantime telling him to go ahead, that he would find nothing, as he Russell, was too wise to carry liquor in his car. Ryan went ahead and got under the car, where he noticed a common two-by–four. When he attempted to remove this Russell got nervous and told Ryan to go easy and not break his car. At this Ryan told Marshal Tracy to take Russell in custody so that he could continue investigation unmolested. The two-by-four was the clue to the mystery, and a little prying around revealed a cleverly constructed compartment, in which were found 56 pint bottle of whiskey - neatly and safely packed in the false bottom. This was confiscated and a county charge of having liquor in his possession placed against him. When arraigned before Precinct JP Peter Clark, he plead guilty, was fined $200.00 - paid the fine, and he and his "whiskey-carrying Ford" left for parts unknown—"perhaps back to Evanston to try again." PR 39:26 2aug 1918 p.1 1924 Auto and Train J.E. Kygar, who is with the Moore Auto Co., had a most exciting adventure last Sunday night, and one which could have easily been quite serious. He was called out to Echo Canyon to assist Chas. Hardy who was having carburetor trouble. After correcting this he started back to Coalville, but upon reaching the UP tracks the spindle arm of his own car broke just as he was on the track. A Freight train was coming, and only Mr. Kygar's quick action in seizing the spotlight from his car and flagging the train prevented his car from complete destruction and possible injury to himself. Kygar then rode to Coalville on the freight caboose. SB 1:51 10ct1924 p.1 1925 Kamas R.R. Hope is high that UP will "really considering a freight route through our (Kamas) valley to connect up with their line at Provo; this would save them one hundred ten miles and make a more direct and better route to the Pacific. "Let's get in and boost and see if dreams won't come true. You know we have the most wonderful valley in our county and state.
