Show A-11 e Park Record Sat/Sun/Mon/Tlies, November 4-7, 2006 FROM TIME TO TIME Halloween mischief- a night of treats and tricks Compiled by KAT JAMES Of The Record staff 100 Years Ago •Park Float The mischievous spirits of Halloween had their ardor cooled somewhat Wednesday evening by the cold rain which fell almost continuously. However, more than one family found its ashcan missing the next morning and numerous front gates found a resting place for the night on neighboring telephone poles. No serous damage was done, though, and those who were out for a lark had lots of fun. The "Ghost" ball, given by the Score Club at Maple Hall Halloween, was a jolly and successful event. The hall was oddly decorated with lighted pumpkin heads, ghosts, etc., and cozy corners were taken advantage of by the dancers. A fortune-telling booth, furnished with gruesome skulls and bones, afforded lots of amusement. Dancing was kept until 2 o'clock. A movement has been inaugurated by the Silver King employees to have work at the mine and mill suspended on Sundays, so that the workmen can have one day out of the seven at home with their families, as well as for rest and recreation. A petition to this effect will be forwarded to Manager Kearns next week, and a favorable decision is hoped for. 978 and Lee 758. Lee failed to win a single precinct, although in several he ran better than one or the other of his opponents. Henefer gave Clyde his best margin, 146-32-41. McPolin ran very strongly in his hometown, Park City, traditionally Democratic, but the Republican strength in the rest of the county cut him down. Every Park City precinct went for Stevenson, as did Castle Rock and Echo. All others were strong for Ike, with Coalville 21 registering a slamming 73-2 for the President. Total vote for president was 2,912, with Eisenhower's 2.030 for the highest Republican ballot ~ another national trend. Congressman Dixon was second with 1,790, and Commissioner Chappell led local contestants with 1,696. There was only one contest in the county for school board posts. In South Summit Sam Wide defeated Ken Woolstenhulme, 73-69. In Park City, Robert L. Roach, unopposed, counted 185 votes. 25 Years Ago •Afternoon explosion kills resident An acetylene explosion and ensuing fire last Friday afternoon claimed the life of lifelong Park City residerlt, Robert E.

Although Summit County is only allowed to make one recommendation to Mountainlands, it is not guaranteed approval. Bellamy pointed out that, while $1.3 million would be a lot of money for small areas like Wasatch and Summit counties, Utah County is more densely populated and could take the entire purse. Additionally, even if Mountainlands approves Summit County's recommendation, the final decision on disbursement of the HUD funds is made by the Utah State Legislature. Because the grants are not a "sure thing," Bellamy said the county will also offer to help the two applicants search for other funding venues. Marc Miller, president of the Summit County Habitat for Humanity, said the organization is requesting a $94,500 CDBG grant to help pay for four building lots in Summit County. Miller said the group is almost finished with a project in Coalville, and has purchased an additional lot in the town. He added Habitat hopes to use the grant money to pay off the two Coalville lots, while using the remainder to acquire land closer to Park City.

Park City Fire Marshall Herb Johnson told The Record the initial explosion can be definitely linked to the acetylene tanks in the workshop. He added, however, the subsequent blasts were caused by the ignition of quantities of gunpowder stored in the house. Burns was an avid sportsman and kept the powder because he loaded his own ammunition. Johnson said the igniting powder spread flames with ferocity throughout the house arid greatly hampered the efforts of the volunteer firefighters. "The blasts kept us from getting near the source of the fire when we first arrived," he said, "and we were worried about more acetylene and oxygen tanks exploding." Don Christiansen, who assisted in the efforts to remove Burns from the workshop rubble, was treated for smoke inhalation as was firefighter Mike Karog. Bob Peters, also a firefighter, suffered a sprained wrist in the effort to douse theflamesthat at times were billowing 50 feet in the air. By nightfall the fire was substantially out but little remained of the house. Firefighters stayed on the scene throughout the night as a precaution against a flare-up.
