FAMILY & JEWELS SPRING SALE! - , starting Friday, March 17 Take advantage tremendous savings! 591 Main Street Open Daily 10-9 Sundays 12-6 By Patricia E. Smith Park City's historic commercial district is soon to be nominated to the National Register of Historic Places. The National Register is the official list of the nation's cultural resources worthy of preservation. The City Council will be asked to endorse the nomination at this week's meeting and it is hoped their support for Park City's "self-preservation" effort ef-fort will be demonstrated with a "yes" vote. The State review committee will note the council's support in nominating Park City's Main Street district as a National Historic Site. If the council votes not to support the nomination, the nomination most likely would not receive final signature by State Historic Preservation Officer, Michael Gallivan. Even if it were unanimously accepted on the basis of its historic merit, by the State Historic and Cultural Sites Committee. No endorsement from the local community council would most likely table the nomination. What docs National Register listing mean to private owners in the historic comnierical district? 1. National Register Listing requires no further restrictions restric-tions on private property owners than are already present in Park City's own Land Management Code. It is stricter and much more specific in its requirements with regard to uses of private historic property than the broad National Register Criteria for listing of historic sites, which is as follows: Evaluation Criteria for National Historic Sites The quality of significance in American history, architecture, architec-ture, archeology, and culture is present in districts, sites, buildings, structures, and objects that possess integrity of location, design, setting, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association, and: A. that are associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history; or B. that are associated with the lives of persons significant in our past; or C. that embody the distinctive characteristics of a type, period, or method of construction, or that represent the work of a master, or that possess high artistic values or that represent a significant and distinguishable entity whose components may lack individual distinction D. that have yielded, or may be likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history. Listing on the National Register imposes no further encumbrances en-cumbrances on owners of private property in the historic district. 2. Listing on the National Register makes private property owners eligible to be considered for Federal grants-in-aid for historic preservation through State Programs. HUD grants and low cost housing loans become available to private owners of National Register buildings as well. 3. Listing provides protection through comment by the Advisory Ad-visory Council on Historic Preservation on the effect of fderally financed, assisted, or licensed undertakings on historic properties. In other words, before action is taken where federal funds are used, committee review is required on National Register listed properties. Private owners can do anything they want according to Park City ordinances with no committee review and permission of the building inspector inspec-tor only. Listing on the National Register will not change this. Private industries using private funds are not restricted further fur-ther than local ordinances advise already. National recognition for Park City's historic commercial district will provide valuable public relations for the year round recreational opportunities we should be encouraging here. To be recognized as a National Historic Site means Park City can capitalize on its existing resources at no cost to the citizens, with no extra city expenditures, Park City can join America's most prestigious places on the National Register of Historic Places if the nomination is approved. Park City deserves recognition for its contribution to American history. Mining fortunes built this country. Fortunes For-tunes such as that of William Randolph Hearst came from Park City's Ontario mine. Early 20th century mining technology peaked in Park City. Industrial monuments like the Silver King ore loading station stand as symbols of importance im-portance to remind us of the role Park City played in U.S. history. Endorsement of the nomination by our elected officials would be a clear demonstration of support for Park City's historic preservation effort. People, By Doc Murdoek And Th ings In Wendover, Nevada, on Thursday nights, they watch the TV weather reports to find out the skiing conditions in Park City. In Wendover? Desert and sagebrush Wendover? Wen-dover? Jackrabhit Wendover? Gambling-just-over-the-stateline Wendover? That's it: gambling. gam-bling. In the winter, they watch the ski reports because it will give them an idea of how big a weekend it will be in Wendover. In Salt Lake City, there are a lot of folks who are over twenty-one, twenty-one, work hard for their money, and figure weekends are the time to let loose a little. A lot of them go skiing. If the skiing conditions are not so hot, a lot of them go to Wendover to gamble. Last year, when snowless Park City was marking time and counting canceled reservations, reser-vations, Wendover was busy counting money. Bare slopes and clear skies here meant Wen-dover's Wen-dover's best year in history. Last weekend I drove out to Wendover, not to donate my money at the tables, but to get into Wendover's other half: desert and mountain. It's the closest place to ride my motorcycle in the winter; no snow there in any winter. I stopped into in-to the casino to see one of the gambling managers an old friend and he started telling me about the Wendover-Park City connection. "It used to be we got mostly people who were already into gambling," he said. "Now we get all types: families, people who come out to fish or camp (or ride motorcycles), people in their twenties, and people in their sixties. This is the only place with food or public rest rooms, so they all stop in. Some of them drop a few nickels in the slot machines or risk a few dollars at the tables. Had it changed the gambling business? "Sure," he said, "look around." I looked. Milling people. Big restaurant. Lots of gaming tables. But the thing that dominated the building was the lowly slot machine. Hundreds of them with red, yellow, and green twinkling lights. A background noise level of ringing, clinking, and clunking: an intentional noisy clatter of metal and machines. "That's where the money comes from now," he said. "Slot machines. It used to be we kept 'em around to entertain the customer's wives. When I started here, we had six of the old mechanicals. Later we put in three of the new Bally "electrics" as we called them. They got played so much and made so much money we couldn't keep 'em working. Now we got hundreds "If your slots make so much," I kidded him, ' why bother with all these twenty-one tables ? " 'I could say they are to entertain the customer's husbands," he said smiling, "but they do all right, too." We were sitting at the bar looking out over a dozen moderately busy "blackjack" tables. There were no gamblers at the table directly in front of us and the dealer was looking dreamily off into space while his hands nervously stacked and unstacked chips. The cards lay spread out across the table. As we watched, a family of four entered the casino and the man walked right up to the table, fascinated. Mother and two kids waited by the door. "So this is it?" he said wide-eyed. "Nevada gambling." The dealer said nothing. The man hadn't reached into his pocket for money so the dealer was not supposed to pick up the cards. Not yet. "We're from Iowa," said the man gesturing to his family still waiting by the door. "First time West." He looked at the dealer. "How do you play this game anyhow?" He reached into his pocket for a dollar and the dealer picked up the cards. The dealer showed the man how to make a bet and he dealt the cards, explaining how to ask for more cards and what options the man had. The man won and turned around to smile at his wife, holding up the two dollar chips. His wife nodded her head toward the restaurant. A signal. "You go on in, honey," he said turning back to the table. "Order me a hamburger. I'll be right in." An hour later the wife and kids were again standing by the door. They had finished their hamburgers and had his, now getting cold, in a paper bag. The man was no longer just learning about the game. No longer was it an interesting diversion, a curiosity for a vacationing Iowa tourist. He was hooked. Sitting on the edge of the stool, he drank the free drinks and watched every card come out. He played with passion, converted from traveler to gambler in one hour. The vacation money was gone. His wife left her post by the door and tried to get him to leave. He demanded what money she had in her purse. She handed it over and resumed her place at the door. I had seen enough. I left by the front door, excusing ex-cusing myself to squeeze by the waiting family. For the rest of the day I rode my motorcycle in the beautiful mountains high above Wendover. On my way back through town, I stopped only long enough to get gas, deciding I could make it back to the Mt. Air Cafe to eat. I arrived in Park City shortly after dark. The resort's night skiing lights lit up the side of the mountain. A light snowfall was starting. In Wendover they would be disappointed when they watched the weather report. The snow conditions in Park City would be great this weekend.
