Show V i H o ward's birthday cake may need fire crew The Newspaper Thursday, Aagut 27, 1M1 Pa$e A9 r" 1 1 "I'iithit- "'""''infiwrTrT,B'f',M"8'IB,"l When Howard Coleman was born, Grover Cleveland was president, Victoria was queen, General Custer and Jesse James were relatively warm in their graves, and Park City was a gleam in the eye. This Thursday, Howard may be responsible for the city's first candle shortage, as he celebrates his 95th birthday. Howard said he wasn't going to do anythmg special for his birthday, not for this one, and not for his 100th. However, according to sources, Howard has been known to sip a little Bourbon Supreme on such occasions. Coleman worked at the Park City Post Office for 35 years, said his good friend Mayor Jack Green. He was commander of the local American Legion Post for a time, and was trustee and deacon of the Park City Community Church. "He maintained the church at times when it would have been abandoned," said Green. Despite being one of the town's few black residen-he residen-he has always been accepted by Park City and was an active ac-tive contributor to its way of life. On Sundays when the preacher didn't make it to services, Howard would fill in. But he wasn't a preacher, he seems to suggest with a shy smile; he just talked. Coleman was born August 27, 1886 at Harradsburg, Kentucky. Park City was nearly 40 years off in his future at that point. Before that he labored as Pullman porter and worked in stores down in Salt Lake. He also served in the Quartermaster Corps in World War I. He had some narrow escapes in the Argonne Forest of France. More than once, he said, he had to jump in a dugout while enemy fire destroyed his truck. Coleman followed a friend, Art Sibley, to Park City in 1921, and got a job at the Newark Hotel. In 1922, he went to work as a custodian at the post office (located on part of the site occupied by the present facilities) and retired in 1957. He created a garden near the building, using dirt from the back slopes of Marsac School and utilizing old tires as border for it. He was married three times and adopted two children with his second wife, Cloud. One eventually went back to his parents. The other, Howard Jr., lives in Denver and has presented Howard with two gran-children. gran-children. As a matter of fact, Howard Jr. and one gran-son gran-son run a janitor firm, and they boast a business card that reads, "Three generations of custodial service." ser-vice." His last wife, Justine, he married in 1946. She curren-ly curren-ly resides in a rest home in Heber, and local nurse Jayne Kimball drives Howard over about once a week. "Jayne is a godsend to him," said Green. At 95, Howard can still take care of himself. When he goes out, he needs to take a small supply of oxygen with him.

He also has a hearing problem, so people learn to bellow at him. "I was with him for an hour today," said Green, "and I've been yelling at people ever since." He doesn't have much to say about the vast changes in his lifetime. Of the progress in race relations, he said, "I never got into trouble." Of Park City, he said, "I never thought I'd see these big buildings," but he to them. He still keeps up with the Salt Lake papers. And speaking of current events, we couldn't resist asking doesn't have any objections him if he would recommend a candidate for mayor in the fall elections. "Who is mayor right now?" he asked. "I am, for Christ's sake," said Green, laughing. V.D. Part IV For local drama students, practice is in 'Fragments' Football players aren't the only ones who started practice prac-tice long before the first day of school. For eleven members of Brenda Bensch's drama program at Park City High School, practice began about three weeks ago on a one-act play which will be peformed Sept. 11 for the League of Utah Writers. The play is called "Fragments,',' which focues on "man's, inability to communicate com-municate with others, himself him-self or any higher being," to use Mrs. Bensch's words. Through the use of a sequence of short scenes, the play is a stody of relationships, relation-ships, starting with the very casual, such as a chance encounter en-counter between a customer and a sales clerk, then progressing to the more intimate. in-timate. The recurring theme is the total lack of communication commun-ication between the participants. par-ticipants. Written by Mrs. Bensch and her husband, Norbert Bensch, "Fragments" was awarded first prize in the one-act play category of the Utah 1A drama competition two years ago. That same year, "Fragments" was entered en-tered in the League of Utah Writers' one-act play competition com-petition and was picked as one of the top two entries. Of the 11 students involved, in-volved, two participated when."Fragments" was first performed locally: Robin Friedman and Korey Lewis. Those being exposed to the play for the first time include in-clude Collyn Adamson, Jill Schettler, Denis Chantry, Denise White, Scott Pirraglio, Wade Wallin, Amy Finegan and Phil May. Also joining the cast is 1980 graduate Tom Brose. "Fragments" will be presented during the first day of the three-day annual conference of the League of Utah Writers at the Hotel Utah. Guest speakers during the conference will include Caroly Nichols, Mark Strand and Elizabeth Lane. Nichols is a senior editor with Jove Publications in New York. Mark Strand, a widely-published widely-published poet, will be in residence at the University of Utah this year, and Elizabeth Lane is a Provo author well known for her historical romance novels. She is working on a trilogy, to be based , in China,, for BantanrBboks: ii'vier Mrs. Bensch is the current president of the League of Utah Writers. Anyone interested in-terested in participating in the conference can obtain more information by reaching her at the high school. The fee for the three-day event is $40, which covers all activities, including in-cluding a Friday-night banquet and Sunday's poets' breakfast. Accommodations are extra. All activities will take place at the Hotel Utah. By Bob Reschke Summit Co. Health Dept. Hundreds of myths persist today regarding VD. How tragic in an era of advanced technology that young men and women are still taught by parents that VD is contracted from toilet seats, door knobs and drinking glasses! VD is a three-horned problem. The social, medical and moral ramifications cannot be ignored. What we see today is an almost fanatical resistance to programs pro-grams of venereal disease awareness in many of the nalon's schools. Adults contract con-tract VD and then assume that by some amazing feat of the body defense, gonorrhea or syphilis will go away. Gonorrhea has been called everything from a simple "strain of the groin mucles" to "kidney infection." Despite Des-pite the years under the bridge, I can still recall the horror stories that masturbation mastur-bation caused syphilis, blindness, blind-ness, madness and pimples. In some homes I remember that parents also told their offspring that God placed an "M" on the forehead of all boys who masturbated and that this letter could not be seen by the doer. I recall checking out all the boys in my junior high school for pimples and the invisible "M" while making more than casual visits to the mirror myself. Of course in Victorian Massachusetts, one could not purchase condoms except by a physician's physi-cian's prescription, and I never had so much as one minute of VD awareness either at home or in school it simply was taboo. Today, in some parts of Massachusetts Massachu-setts little has changed. Sex is a dirty word VD is something that sinners get, and high school girls still get themselves pregnant! In the next issue, we shall explore the matter of ignorance further. Thanks To all the good people we met. It was great and so are you Love ya B.
