Show Wednesday, August 16, 1978 Page 15 Pre-School Opening Set For This Fall Continued from Page 1 might offend a parent pushing the program, if.. .they cannot get their uklivlcfual student enrolled because of the required procedures." Other considerations listed included the possible exclusion of some students unable to meet tuition costs; compatibility with existing school district programs; concern that the proposed use of the printing and conference rooms at the high school would cause extra noise and would necessitate pre-schoolers sharing lavatories lav-atories with the high school students; and "Finally, I think that schools have been given or have taken more and more social responsibilities from the home and other agencies. I'm concerned we are not performing the responsibilities now incumbent upon us to the degree we should." When contacted Tuesday, Dr. Good-worth Good-worth stated emphatically, "I am not opposed to a pre-school. But the board did not endorse the proposal because they felt there were many questions. And Val said she had other alternatives, alterna-tives, so it was denied." The other alternatives panned out, and the new Park City Pre-School will open its doors September 18 in the basement of the Park City Community Commun-ity Church. Although the school will be occupying occupy-ing space in the church, it has no religious affiliations and will be open to all children between the ages of 3 and 5. The school will operate on the school district calendar year, observing obser-ving the same holidays and summer recess, although they will be beginning begin-ning a few weeks later this year. The students can attend three sessions: Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to noon for a tuition fee of $45 per month; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9 a.m. to noon for $30 per month; or Monday through Friday from 1 to 4 for $75 per month. Parents in need of a Monday through Friday morning session could be accomodated, and the pre-school organizers also encourage kindergarteners kindergart-eners to attend a half-day session to fill out their half-day with the school district. "We are very adaptable," Chin commented. "We are hiring a teacher now and we feel the facilities are perfect for our needs. This is a real community venture and we feel there is a great need for this school. ' ' The organizers emphasized that the school was not a day care center but a pre-school that will offer definite educational benefits. "Next year we will be well established," said proposal committee commit-tee member Patty Miller. "There are a large number of children that will be turning three. As a matter of fact, probably 85 percent of the mothers involved have children that are pre-pre-school age. The population is growing in leaps and bounds and we felt the time was right to bring a school of this nature." Miller pointed out that the program will be tailored to fit each child's individual needs by the teacher and an . aide, and that there will never be more than twelve students in any one session. "We feel very good about the fact that there will only be six children per adult, because beyond that we feel it gets very sketchy," Miller said. Mrs. Miller noted that applications will be accepted at a booth at the upcoming Arts and Bluegrass Festival, Fest-ival, and she extended an invitation to parents to get involved. "This is not a cooperative," Miller said. "This is a non-profit, parent administered program and all parents are invited to participate, although that is not a requirement for enrollment." "We are very excited and are feeling extremely positive," Miller said enthusiastically, "We're sure it's going to be a success." It's Arts Festival Time Aain Continued from Page 1 1,800 slides from 340 artists were judged by the jury; 169 artists were selected for their originality, creativity, technical expertise, form and continuity of style, "This is the best art work we've ever had," said Smith, who has helped organize several of the past festivals. She believes the high standards for festival artists has helped attract skilled artists from states as far away as Florida, New York and Virginia. After the artists were selected, final arrangements were made for the placement of artist and food booths and the sites and times set for the various performances. Public relations work began the first part of August; advertising brochures and posters were printed and distributed, and press releases made. Also, transportation, tran-sportation, traffic control, clean-up and sanitation arrangements were made and directory maps were printed prin-ted for the estimated 50,000-a-day festival crowds. Street decorations will be completed and put in place during the final days before the festival. Pat Smith said there was not a single director for this year's festival, because the job would be too time consuming for any one person unless he or she could be a salaried nrofessional and there were not a cost. The Chamber of Commerce may have assistance in dealing with the increasingly, in-creasingly, complex job of organizing and financing future festivals if a proposed Park City Arts Council becomes a reality. The Arts Council is only in the planning stage currently. Articles for incorporation and by-laws have been drafted but have yet to be approved. If, or when, the council gets into full swing, its primary responsibility will be to solicit state and federal funds to support such community arts related projects as the arts festival. State and federal funds, for example, could be solicited to hire a full-time festival director. Some supporters of the Park City Arts Council proposal believe the council would be a logical choice to organize future festivals, as well as providing financial assistance. This could free the Chamber of Commerce to organize other community-oriented events such as the Chamber-organized, Chamber-organized, Levi-Strauss sponsored, "Ride and Tie" held this summer. But whatever the fate of the arts council, says one festival committee and Chamber member, the Chamber of Commerce probably will always play some role in the planning of the Park City Arts Festival.

Park City resident Gary Francis came before the commission asking conditional condi-tional use approval for a triplex in the recreation commercial district. He noted that he had an option to purchase additional property prop-erty from the city to meet lot size requirements. Neighbors Phyllis Offret and Mr. and Mrs. Pete Solis attended the meeting, and said they did not object to the proposed triplex but they did object to Francis' option to buy part of the dedicated road to the rear of all their property. The existing Empire Avenue Aven-ue goes through the Solis and Offret property, and two years ago both parties approached ap-proached the City Counci and asked that adjustments be made. The property owners said they were never extended the option to buy or exchange property with the city. "We can't get clearance for our property, let alone an option," said Offret. "How can he just come in here and buy from the city?" The purpose of the recreation recrea-tion commercial district is to allow for the development of hotel and convention accomodations accom-odations in close proximity to the ski resort facilities.

Mrs. Offret commented. com-mented. "A house has more sentimental value than money." The property owners were invited to take the matter up the following day with City Planner David Preece, while the commission returned to the subject of the triplex. Preece noted that the triplex tri-plex is not a conditional use for the recreation commercial commer-cial district and did not meet the minimum lot size requirements re-quirements specified in the zoning ordinances. In addition, addi-tion, after looking at renderings render-ings presented by Francis, the commissioners noted that there was an insufficient number of parking spaces provided and that the project would extend ten feet into the city property. "This project doesn't fit into any zoning criteria," said commissioner Reynolds. Rey-nolds. "You can't have the best of RC and RM zoning," he continued, pointing out that the design incorporated the minimum lot size requirement require-ment for the medium residential resi-dential zone and the maximum maxi-mum height requirement for the recreation commercial district. "This is just a building you think is neat, and maybe some ol us think it is, too, but it has to fit into the ordinances." The Planning Commission determined that Francis redesign the structure to fit into the RC zone and first obtain the land necessary to meet the lot size requirements require-ments before reapproaching the commission. In addition, the structure must be contained con-tained within deeded property prop-erty boundaries and provide adequate parking spaces. Park City Artists A Variety Of Style Concepts Dick Doty has had his jewelry sold in major jewelry stores from California to New York. He also sells his jewelry at the "The Family Jewels," which he owns and operates on Main Street. Dick became interested in his craft five years ago while trading in jewelry at an Indian reser- at ion in New Mexico. He now designs and builds his own jewelry, even doing the goldsmithing and silversrmthing. Dick will present a variety of "style concepts" on the 19th and 20th. His "contemporary jewelry st j les.. .stress clean lines and balance." By balance he means creating jewelry designs that display and blend the best attributes of the metal and the stone. "You don't want the metal to detract from the stone, it should add to it," Dick said. "All I sell is happiness. The design work and the layout are what will make people happy." iggi& III liwilll i R ESTAURANT LIVE ENTERTAINMENT SERVING PRIME RIB FRI. SAT. & SUN.
