Staggering through fifty-two deadlines but picking up momentum, this editor ponders the future with f?.arded optimism. I guard the optimism because I once iuH it stolen. ; This is my second first anniversary. The first was spent with the Park City Coalition, the Newspaper's progenitor which drowned in a sea of red ink. The demise of, the Coalation and the , rise , of the Newspaper makes me hope it doesn't really take a third time to be the charm. On the occasion of my first first anniversary, I punched out some starry-eyed asperations after reviewing what I felt to be the previous year's accomplishments. The initial inclination here was to resurrect that editorial, replacing the dead with the living, but the recycled words could sound hollow to those who were here for the first go-round. The feeling is still the same, just a bit more subdued. As we start this new year as new owners, we are indeed optimistic. The town feels healthy and we feel healthy being a part of it. This good feeling has been fortified by the encouraging response that has greeted our efforts to pump up a subscription list retarded by a year of free papers. The four Parkites that would be1 publishers thank each of you who have expressed a year's worth of confidence in us. Personally, I'm very much looking forward to my first second anniversary. Letters to the Editor Airport Roply 1 Editor; Our Summit-Park City Airport Air-port to be located 3 miles away at Silver Creek Junction, Junc-tion, will cost $530,000 to . buy the land and to build. Ninety-one percent of this cost will be paid by aircraft owners and pilots them-. them-. selves, from a three billion .dollar trust, funded by aviation fuel taxes, and "administered by the Airport 'Aid Development Program ' in Washington. OK, so who pays the other 9 percent?... the State of Utah 4.5percent, Summit County 2.7 percent ($14,000), and Park City 1.8 percent ($9,600). ' ' ' So who needs an airport; who benefits? To quote Bob Trepanier," A few out of town skiers", plus a lot more skiers, golfers, sightseers, conventioneers, fishermen, tennis players, farmers, oil developers, mine developers, "the business community, plus every citizen of Utah, every citizen of Summit County, every citizen of Park City. ,-.;y ,-i'y Contrary to popular belief, small general aviation (noncommercial) (non-commercial) airports are not expensive to maintain. Besides Be-sides lease of facilities and ramp space to, a local fixed-base operator, routine expenses could , be met through taxation of the airport users themselves. Ix)cal governments normally levy a 2 cents per gallon fuel flowage fee, and Utah State levies 4 cents per gallon tax, of which 3 cents would be returned to the airport owners (Summit County and I 'ark City Municipal Corporation) Corpor-ation) every quarter. So a sypical 50 gallon tank-up for i small four passenger single engine airplane would generate gener-ate $2.50 in taxes to be returned to our county and rity. Resident aircraft owners would pay property taxes on aircraft which presently are tied down or hangared in Salt Lake or elsewhere. Transient aircraft could be charged a two or three dollar nightly tiedown fee and resident aircraft would be charged for tie-: tie-: down payable monthly. Summit-Park City Airport can offer the private aviator, his family, friends and business associates a quick, convenient and inexpensive . access to Park City and its "surrounding recreational opportunities. Courtesy cars from Park City hotels and lodges could be provided on call. The economic benefits to our economy, winter and summer, vcpuld be, Impress-, ive. If we can encourage the private pilot to land here at our airport, instead of Salt . Lake, he will lodge here, golf here, dine here maybe even live here. Through the encouragement of a small friendly, inexpensive airport, we can keep him on the right side of the Wasatch. And he will use our airport; Parawon's newly renovated airport has had ajstrong and ' positive influence on Brian Head, even though Cedar City Airport is only 25 miles away. - When could we have our own airport? The money has been waiting-since June. The paper work to approve construction is nearly complete. com-plete. The FAA office in Denver is reveiwing the Environmental Impact Statement and after approval, ap-proval, which is likely, the financial committments , should come swiftly in the form of $482,000 of ADAP funds from Washington, and $24,000 in .Utah State Development money which is also waiting. If our county and city officials vote with the future, we could be enjoying this progressive ' addition to our economy within 18 months. Ours is the only county in Utah without an airport... are all the others out of step? Daniel Willard , To Parents ' To the parents of school children residing in Hidden Cove, and Sunrise Hills Division. Dear Parents, I was contacted recently concerning our policy for delivering students especially especial-ly in bad weather in your subdivision area. I realize, and I am sure you do, that it can be an extremely hazardous haz-ardous and difficult situation. situa-tion. We will at all times try to do the best for the safety of your children and other children who may be involved in-volved because they are on the bus at that time. We are contemplating adopting the following procedure pro-cedure and shall implement these procedures unless you can suggest better alternatives alterna-tives for our consideration. 1. The bus, when it is possible, will deliver your students to the turnaround point as currently established- . 2. If the weather conditions , are, such that we cannot tip- "1: ' ) David Duncan John Carruthers Jay Hummel safely convey those students to that point, we shall do one or the other of the following, whichever you feel you want done with your particular students: A. We shall release the students to walk at the Jeremy Ranch Exit, or B. We will take the students to the garage and coffee shop at Parley's Summit, release them to call you as a parent, and make arrangements for you to meet the bus at either this point or at some point as it returns to Park City. In other words, arrangements would be made between you and your child as to where we would drop him or her off for you to pick up. This would apply especially in situations of extreem blizzard conditions condi-tions and blowing snow. We are concerned that it might be hazardous to expect a child to walk from the exit area. C. If the bus is not going on to Summit Park, the driver will follow the same procedure proced-ure at the Kimball Junction service station area. 3. We will contact the County Commissioners requesting that the turnaround turn-around area be designated as a bus turnaround, that it be posted as "no parking permitted at any time". We hope that we can keep snowmobile people and others from parking in that area so that we can safely negotiate the turning of the bus. 1 4. At no time or condition in the normal operation of our bus system will we stop a school bus on a freeway to release students. We have contacted the County and requested snow removal prior to our bus frjfv; y N III I .! ll IH I 3 i- ml a What do you think of Park City, and the 6th Annual P.C.R.F.C. Rugby Challenge Cup? David Duncan , Kansas City Bulls (and Heart of America Rep. to the Western RFC of the United States) - This is our third year here and we always have a good time and see some damn good rugby which seems to get better every year. The hospitality of the gown's people really makes the weekend. Some things could be better. For a tournament of this size there should be two regulation rugby fields. Mike McDonald, Seahawks, San Jose I love Park City but we were disappointed there was no party -last night. I don't think it was the Park City ruggers' fault though, they: tried to get something together. I promised when we played BYU three years ago I would never come back to Utah, but because this is such a great tournament I couldn't stay away. Lenoard and the people up at the C'est Bon really treated us great, they just couldn't do enough for us. John Carruthers,; Calgary, Canada The tournament is great and, the 16-team atmosphere was really enjoyable. The people have treated us great but next year we would like to see more girls. The Park City Club was really super to us. They met us at the airport and really took care of us. Dan Licon, Gold-Blues, the Bay Area It's a great social tournament and you just can't say enough about the job Corky Foster and Alamo Dave Mueller do. The people here are really congenial and hospitable. Park City is a fantastic town with a warm atmosphere. Jay Hummel, Snake River It's a great tournament with some really fine representation from teams from all over the country. v . .. Park Gty is a nice little-town. I love it. I always have a good time here. I'd like to thank Corky Foster for the great job he does. I really hope they keep the tournament. corky Foster Park City RFC The Park "City players worked hard and played above my expectations. They should receive the thanks. ' .-!, Thejrugbyj:kjbs. weekend were very strong and the caliber of rugby was great. Unfortunately, we failed on the Saturday night party and I had a lot of complaints. Some people drove over a thousand miles to get to Park City, their teams lost early and they were looking for a good Saturday night to ease the pain. They left Park City disillusioned with what was supposed to be a resort town. . ; V p.;; '. . ' '. Alamo Dave and I have organized 6 tournaments now, and I am quite certain this will be the last for . both of us. . t scheduled trips. We feel an improvement has been made of which we are grateful. . We are justifiably concerned concern-ed over the safety of all children and, therefore, will not ask any driver to drive his bus into known or extreme potential hazardous conditions. We anxiously await your response and directions as to what you would like to see done during extreme adverse conditions in relationship to seeing that your student arrives safely home. Please respond at your earliest convienence. Sincerely, Richard L. Goodworth Superintendent of Schools Gondola Sir, We want to publicly thank Ray Johnson and The Greater Park City Company for allowing season pass holders to ride the gondola for free this summer. This gesture showed real intelligence intell-igence and good will. It cost very little in either operational operation-al expenses or forgone business yet it was a real benefit to pass holders.
