Christopher rests on the steps of a historical building. Students and friends aid Yeates family By JASON STRYKOWSKI Of the Record staff In a rush of loyalty and courage, friends of Christopher Yeates scrambled down the side of a mountain to come to his aid. Although they came too late to save him, their selfless act honored the young man who repeatedly demonstrated devotion to friends and family over the course of his life. Christopher, who graduated from Park City High School (PCHS) in June, slipped while hiking with his former classmates in Austria and fell some 60 to 80 feet to his death. An experienced climber, Christopher grew up canyoneering and rappelling in Moab. The trail that claimed his life less than two weeks ago presented no major challenge to Yeates, but slick conditions caused him to lose his footing. Park City classmates scurried to administer CPR and other emergency first aid, but the fall proved fatal. All of the students were taking part in a European excursion planned for PCHS graduates who have completed an art history course. Christopher is survived by his mother, Kelly, an English teacher at PCHS, his father, Matthew and sister Megan. Matthew and Kelly described Christopher as a person who "would do anything for anyone" and some- afraid to try something new, said his parents. Although Christopher had some difficulty in elementary school and middle school, he learned to express himself through activity and his unique sense of humor. Before his early teens he took up both karate and paintball. Christopher nearly earned a black belt in karate and was a crack shot at paintball, so much so that he inadvertently attracted police attention. While playing outdoors with a friend, Christopher caught the eye of a neighbor who deemed the boys too close to their flammable barbecue for comfort In response, this neighbor called the Park City Police Department one who chanced his own privacy and sanity to help friends. Matthew recalled that, after Yeates had asked his parents to allow a friend to stay with them for six months, both he and Kelly had cautioned their son that such proximity could strain their friendship. In response, Christopher simply shrugged and said, "He would do the same for me." Bom in Portland, Ore. in 1989, Yeates moved to Park City at age seven with his mother. He enrolled at McPolin Elementary School and received skiing lessons from Matthew, a former ski instructor. The young Christopher took well to skiing, but broke his father's heart by renting a snowboard and failing to mention that momentous decision to either of his parents.

Cristim Fernandez ts the president of Argentina. Memorial fund and ceremony set tp honor Dr. Darren Bean By JASON STRYKOWSKI Of the Record staff Despite the heavy toll on their hearts and minds, Parkites have found a way to celebrate the life of Dr. Darren Bean with both joy and sorrow. Bean, a standout athlete and student who graduated from Park City High School, perished in a helicopter accident in Wisconsin on May 10 of this year. He and other members of a life-flight crew were on their way back from a patient transfer when their helicopter crashed. A Park City resident for much of his life, Bean left behind many acquaintances in the area who remember him as a leader and friend. They will honor Bean this Thursday with a memorial at the Jim Santy Auditorium at 5:30 p.m. Jana Cole, a friend of the Bean family, helped plan the event alongside members of the Back to Our Roots Foundation, many of whom grew up with Bean and still recall with fondness and admiration their activities together during high school. The evening's events will begin with tribute speeches. Cole anticipates about nine speakers. The memorial will continue with video footage of an earlier ceremony held in Wisconsin, where Bean worked as a doctor for the University of Wisconsin. Although some Parkites were able to make the trip for the funeral, this will be the first time that many others will view the event. The ceremony should last around an hour. "It's going to be a celebration of Darren's life in Park City...not a heavy memorial service," said Sydney Reed, a family friend. Following the presentation in Santy Auditorium, friends of the Bean family are invited to a less formal gathering at City Park where Cole hopes that they will share memories of Bean along with food. Kids and family are all invited. Younger children will even be provided with babysitters during the service.
