COOOOeBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBQj As I See It by Shirley Sometimes I can find a subject to write about and a weekly column seems to flow from the mind faster than the typewriter can write. Other times, the well is pretty low and all that comes to mind are bits and pieces. This is a bits and pieces week. I could probably write a book about the weather this past year. Unusual temperatures and forecasts began way back in 1992 and it seems there is no end. But why complain about the weather? We adapt not by choice, but because we have to. There are a lot of compassionate people in our communities. A lady carrying a flower basket passed The Bee office. It wasnt long until she passed again empty handed. We have many people with problems and Im sure (me of them was the receiver of the plant and cheered up a little knowing someone was thinking of her. Just hard about two bicycle enthusiasts who went for broke" and bought two new bikes to enjoy. I understand it was a fling after s. We just have to spending years using the kids old splurge once in awhile on ourselves. With the recent showings of Snow White, it brings to mind the question of Mirror Mirro on the wall who is fairest of them all? With all the royalty being crowned in Summit County, I think the fairest must be our young ladies in the neighborhoods. Personally, each one could certainly wear the queen banner. It might be noted that this year is an election year for some county and city offices. If you would like to see some changes, now is your chance to brush up on government business and protocol and seriously consider proper filing. Anyone who thinks they might file, should consider attending some of the required meetings and hear the discussions and decisions before the already working elected officials. Only after election, do we find out if our mark will bring us encouragement and satisfaction or disappointment and regret We want to say thank you to all the local Summit County residents who go out of their way to make visitors to our communities feel welcome. We are sometimes accused of being clanish and cold towards newcomers. The welcome sign should be visable to all regardless of color, creed or beliefs. The same goes for our neighbors. A warm greeting can make the difference between a great day and a not so great day. Before we push someone out because they differ in any of a number of ways from us, try writing down their good points. The list will usually be much faults. Some very good qualities are longer than the list of hidden away, while what is being judged is very obvious. We can seldom make anyone over as we think they should be, but we should love them for their goodness and individuality. hand-me-down- so-call-ed Just Thoughts From Bessie's Collection You dont get to choose how you are going to dip, or when.

Later Terry Wieser appeared. A public hearing was held regarding the storage units just south of Kamas in the request of the Smithies to add on additional units. After the recommendation of Don Sargent, of the planning department. the conditional use permit was granted conditionally that no flammable material be stored, no outdoor storage areas to be used, and the Smithies are to maintain the road leading to the area. Another conditional use permit was granted Tuesday night to Dan Newton for rock crushing operation in the Wanship Bridge Hollow subdivision for the purpose of making road base only. The subdivision is Jr. Market Livestock Exhibitors located south of Wanship and west of Hwy. 32 having received its final 41 lot approval in January of this year. The rock crushing operation is in a grazing agricultural zone and not visible from the outside of the subdivision. The produce is to be used only inside the subdivision, therefore there will be no outside road traffic and it will last only so long as the material is needed for the inside road work. The commission requested that the operation keep the area wetted down to minimize the dust traveling; further, that the hazardous materials such as diesel be kept in conll tainers with precautions. Newton informed the panel that the nearest fire station is in Wanship and the construction workers are all equipped with telephones, and that they will work from sun up to sun anti-spi- Just a reminder If you have not attended one of the required Jr. Livestock Market activities, i.e., Morgan Jr. Livestock ShowSummit County Jackpot Show, you must attend one of the following.

A few days ago there was a stolen car incident in Salt Lake in the City and (me at the Snyderville Basin followed by a fast car chase which ended in Heber City. Fortunately with no one was hurt. The perpetrators were of the Krips gang looted elsewhere except for one who is a resident of Kamas. There have been a rash of thefts from open garages, primarily mountain bikes, which are very expensive, thought to be sold later in other areas of the state. Though there has been an increase in population and an increase in crime, there has not been a commensurate increase in the police budget to accommodate the increase in problems.

I love parades and, when Tm not in one, I watch than. I love the bands, though they woe sparse in Park City. (I wish next year there would be more music.) I love the happiness on the faces of all the people, those performing and those watching. I love waving at the floats and calling out names of people I know in the parade. Itfs exciting and fun and joyous. The rain fell on the parade but the marchers and many of the watchers waited out the storm and soaking wet continued. But then, the country at the time of its creation, was also stormy and the participants continued with the business at hand. It was a time at once joyous and deadly sad. It took the lives of so many, young and old, who believed in the cause. The creation of this country, (not the land), contains thousands of stories some of which I am proud others I wish never existed. But the story today is of the lack of flags I saw in the neighborhood in which I live. Yes, I had my flag ouL I love this country and appreciate it more the longer I live and the wiser I become. My youth, during WWII, contained a great deal of propaganda to infuse the population with patriotic feelings so we could hustle and win the war. We bought all the propaganda and ate up the excitement of joining with all our neighbors to produce both the man power and the materials, We spoke with neighbors, known and unknown, we joined together and we woo. And we openly wept and loved our country, the best in the world. . When I traveled through my neighborhood last week, I counted only three flags flying. They seemed very lonely in the breeze. Have we lost that feeling? Have we lost the idea that our country, though not perfect, is the best in the world today. Have we lost the knowledge that we have a freedom very few in the world ever experience? Did we forget that we still have a standard of living that is envied and desired by others? What a sad state our enthusiasm has fallen to in fifty years. Do we need a war to remind us? . 336-445- 1, Annual Park City Art Festival Needs Volunteers The 24th Annual Park City Art Festival, to be held on Aug. 7 and 8, is in need of volunteers.
