So begins the strange, but true, story of residents Thomas Hurd and John Carbine, who managed to get elected in November to offices that existed only bn the general election ballot, and ' nowhere else. It was Mr. Hurd, proprietor of the 'End' Run and' airline pilot, who wai-s,atreading, the paper and discovered nobody was running for Summit County Surveyor or Park City Precinct Constable. . "I. wasn't sure what a precinct constable did, and I made a few phone calls and nobody else seemed to know either," he explained. Hurd and his So, , as a lark, neighbor John Carbine, a local architect, decided to wage a write-i- n campaign for those offices.1 When the ballots were counted, Hurd had been elected by a total of five votes to be constable. Carbine captured ' the surveyor's office by two. . The story could have ended here, since there hasn't been a Summit County Surveyor for 50 years and nobody seems to recall if there ever ; was a precinct constable,' The offices have been unfunded and existed on the election ballot only because Utah statutes require them to be there. But what happened next, was that the county decided there was actually a need for a Park Gty Constable, and Hurd was sworn into office Jan. 2, along with .the other elected officials. "I found out it was very serious business, said Hurd, who explained the constables job is to deliver civil Peoa Town meeting Peoa will hold a Town Meeting Wednesday Jan. 17 in the Peoa Ward ' ' Chapel at 7:30 p.m. . .

According to Summit County Planner Stan Strcbel, garbage collection was behind schedule in all areas of the county, except Park City and Kamas. Part of the reason, he said, was that Sam Coleman, who contracts with the county to collect garbage, was hospitalized for a back injury. Compounding the problem was that Mr. Coleman's assistant. Dan Sproul, had been called out of town on urgent business. situation, when county crews stepped in to help, they found the garbage truck refused to start because of the cold weather. "We had a broken down truck and no one to run it." explained Strebel, who said the large volume of trash created by the Christmas holidays had made this problem even more visible. However, by working over-timStrcbel said the county crews expected to have the collection back on schedule this week.

Hurd said he was very serious about the job now, and had contacted the county attorney and Utah Peace Officers Association to determine the exact requirements of the new office.

Smith, one of the first blacks in the LDS Church to hold the priesthood, talked about the controversial issue and the "best year of my entire life." Announcement came on June 9, 1978. that the opportunity to hold the priesthood was afforded all men.

We decided not to do anything, but they agreed that if the need arose, they would call me. The reason, according to Summit County Clerk Reed Pace, is that the e surveyor county hasn't had a since 1927 and didn't budget any money for one this year. Pace also noted that he had tried for years to get the county commission to take the surveyor's office off the ballot by combining it with another elective office, the only legal way to do so. . He said a similar situation developed 12 years ago when another Park City man was elected to the unfunded job. At that time, Pace said he researched the law and found that the elected surveyor would have to be paid, at the minimum, the same wage as the last man to lay claim to the office. "We looked back to 1927 and found the salary was 5300year. When we told him that, he resigned." Arvin recently retired after serving for 20 ycras as a member of the Kamas Valley Soil Conservation District Board of Supervisors. When Arvin first came to the Diamond Bar X, he said that it looked like one big reclamation project. . ' A motion was filed in Third District Court in Coalville last week demanding Summit County Sheriff Ron Robinson to show cause why he has not picked up three children belonging to Shirley Black living with their mother at the John Singer residence in Marion. ' The motion was filed by Salt Lake attorney Joseph Henroid, representing Dean Black of Kamas, husband of Mrs. Black. Judge Peter Learv recently ordered that Dean Black should have custody of the children who moved to the Singer humestcad after their mother married John Singer in July. Both Shirley Black and John Singer said they had received revelations from God years ago to be - married. Mrs. Black is Singer's second wife; he has been married to his first wife, Vickie for fifteen years. When Shirley Black first moved to the Singer homestead her four youngest children went with her; however, the oldest son is now reportedly living with his father in Kamas. Mr. Henriod told the Record that he had never been involved in a case in which a Sheriff may have to issue a warrant upon himself. Because of his failure to do his duty," Henriod said of Sheriff Robinson. "I had to take this action. And Mr. Henriod added, "I want him (Robinson) to explain to the court why he hasn't taken any action. I'm tired of waiting." January '15 hearing in Coalville will be held in order to give Sheriff Robinson an opportunity to explain to Judge Bryant Croft why he has not place the Black children into the A custody of Dean Black. If Sheriff Robinson fails to give satisfactory answers to the court, he can be held in contempt of court. Mr. Henriod said, adding that a conviction could be punishable by a jail sentence or a fine. Mr. Henriod said his primary reason for filing the motion to show cause was to allow the three black children to return to public school in Kamas. "He (Dean Black) feels very bad his children aren't in public school. They're already behind in their lessons." At the present time, the Black children as well as five of the Singer children are being taught by Shirley Black and Vickie Singer at their home in Marion. Joseph Henriod said he will aks for a permanent divorce between Shirley and Dean Black on January 15. The Salt Lake attorney earlier had filed another motion, charging John Singer with allienating Shirley Black's affections from her husband, and demanding from the court that Mr. Singer pay Dean Black in excess of $50,000 in general and punitive damages. Shirley Black told the Record that she asked her children whom they would rather live with and three of them decided to stay with their mother in Marion. |
