They all tell you that runs have been cut, buildings are going up, and following heavy-duty construction con-struction this summer, the area will open next winter. While most skiers are content con-tent to test the slopes next season, the curious have been previewing the area via snowcat. For $45 a day, skiers have been experiencing experien-cing the variety of terrain offered of-fered on the 20 runs that have been cut to date on Bald Eagle and Bald Mountains, and the lunch served in the resort's cabin at Silver Lake (formerly Lake Flat). What those skiers have discovered are long, wide runs lined with evergreen and aspen that offer not only good skiing, but spectacular views. When skiing from the top of 9,400-foot Bald Mountain, Moun-tain, a 360-degree turn brings into focus the Park City Resort, the north end of town, Kimball Junction, Keetley, the jutting peaks of Timpanogos, Bonanza Flats, and Midway. Depending on the speed of the group and how long they languish over lunch, an average of 10 runs can be made in a day of snocat skiing. There are well-groomed well-groomed "cruising" intermediate inter-mediate trails, as well as narrower expert runs with steep pitches that are left untouched un-touched for the powder fans. The runs are planned so that there is a continual vertical drop, with no long flat runouts run-outs to the chairlifts. All of the runs have been named for old mining claims that dot the Deer Valley mountains. Some of the names describe the location or skill needed to ski the runs, like Birdseye and Per-serverance. Per-serverance. Others conjure up images of the personality of the trails themselves: Rattler and Wizard. If skiing Deer Valley by snowcat with just a handful of others sounds like fun, it is. Rut according to Royal Street Land Co. Marketing You can take it or leave it at the ParlHBitpIiibrary You say you don t have a card to borrow from the Park City Library, but you'd love to take a mystery or dreamy romantic novel home with you tonight? With or without a card, you literally can have a book and read it too, just by stopping by the Main Street Library. With the Park City visitor in mind, the library recently rolled out the red carpet or in this case the book cart to entice readers to stop by and take home a book of their choice. Every morning, a cart filled with paperback books is rolled outside in the archway of the library. Visitors and residents alike are welcomed to pick out a book and take it home for the night, or forever. "In the past, we've had a large number of visitors who come in and checked out books, but then left town and didn't return them," said Librarian Judy McMahon. "So we've decided to put out the paperbacks that have been donated. Anyone can take a book and keep it, return it before they leave town, or give us another one that they're finished with." In the month that the "Courtesy Card" program has been in effect, McMahon estimates that 100 paperb-backs paperb-backs have been taken, with Four-year Park City residents Randy and Dixie Spagnoletti are soon to be moving to Salem, Oregon with their new adopted son Dominic, to take over the family business.

You can -ut your name on a waiting list in case a reservation reser-vation is cancelled. Otherwise, Other-wise, you'll have to wait until the resort's official opening. By next winter, Deer Valley will have 35 beginner to expert runs open that will be serviced by four triple chairs and one double chairlift. In addition, two day centers now under construction con-struction will be completed: Snow Park on the floor of Deer Valley, named for the first resort that operated from 1945 to 1965; and at Silver Lake Village in Lake Flat. Those centers will have cafeterias, shops and restaurants In those two about half that returned or were replaced. Even though there is a sign posted on the outdoor cart noting that anyone is free to take a book, McMahon said people still are skeptical.

Included In-cluded in the master plan is an equestrian center, ice skating areas, tennis courts, swimming pools, indoor sports facility, and a hotelconvention center.

Will all the construction scare the deer out of Deer Valley? "Not at all," said Dering. "Although the deer move to lower ground in the winter, the area actually will attract more of them in the summer than before the resort was there.'" He noted that deer and elk will he drawn to the easier feeding grounds provided by the cut runs and the lake systems at Silver Lake and Deer Valley. Over the next dozen years, there will be a lot going on and going up in Deer Valley. But one thing is for' sure: the best part is coming down.

More than a dozen businessmen and residents recently signed a petition asking the city to take action against Swede Alley resident Pete Peterson, who apparently apparen-tly has six puppies and three older dogs penned up on the front porch of his house. The petitioners said the dogs bark throughout the day and night, and because of copious amounts of feces on the porch, they . present a health hazard.' In addition, they say, the older dogs get loose and raid a trash bin across the street in the Treasure Mountain Inn parking lot. On Tuesday, group spokesman Kathy Murphy said they have asked the Summit County Animal Control Con-trol department to draw up the necessary papers to file a civil complaint against Peterson. Murphy, who owns Calico Katie's on upper Main Street, said the noise is both a distraction to herself and her customers. Other business people feel the same way, she said, noting one staffer from the U.S. Ski Team approached Peterson and asked him to do something about the dogs. She apparently was asked to leave. Last Thursday, Mike Reshke of the animal control office told the City Council that the dogs do, indeed, present a health hazard and a noise problem. But he poin- TUNE IN TO KPCW 1 " '. -"-': ted out that the city has no ordinances to deal with such problems on private property. proper-ty. If the dogs were loose, he said, the owner could be cited and fined. He encouraged the council to consider adopting laws that would give the health department and animal control con-trol officers the enforcement power they need. "We are frustrated by the lack of compliance and the enforcement mechanism to deal with this sort of thing," county health director Frank Singleton said Tuesday. "We would like some other way of dealing with this than through the courts." , ,. M Singleton said one animal control officer "'"visited the residence about a month ago, and reported that there were six puppies about three months old, and three older dogs. He added that the porch was littered with fecal material that potentially could cause the spread of infection. in-fection. Singleton said he was under un-der the impression that the problem had been resolved, but new complaints by residents proved that not to be the case. The City Council is expected expec-ted to discuss the matter at today's meeting. Vsoss PIUTE i i ! IX N 1 Shangri - La Ent.
