Show t The Newspaper Thursday, April 22, 15S2 Pte Al MkairtkettpIlaiBB o ooo o oooo o ooooo Sid's Ski, Cycle If you like alliteration, you'll love the name of Park City's newest retail store: it's Sid's Ski, Cycle and Sail. Housed next to the new Post Office annex in the Park City Emporium on U248, the new business is actually a branch of Sid Ueytake's store on 33rd South in Salt Lake City. Managing the new store is Tom Noaker of Oakley, whose experience in all three disciplines makes him a natural for the job. With summer supposedly on the way, Noaker is naturally concentrating on the "Cycle and Sail" end of the business. The store is stocked with an array of bicycles, bicycle frames and a variety of accessories from makers throughout the world. Sid's main line of bicycles in the new store is made by KHS, a Japanese manufacturer. manufac-turer. Prices range from about $100 for a kids' model with 24-inch wheels to about $590 for the top-of-the-line adults' version, complete with Reynolds 5-3-1 tubing and Shimano accessories, for those who understand such things. Sid's also offers bicycles made by Trek, Astro-Daimler and Centurion. Cen-turion. But if a factory frame doesn't suit your needs, Noaker will refer you to Ron Stout, a Salt Lake resident who makes custom frames. "Ron fits the frame the way you would (fit) clothing," cloth-ing," Noaker says. "He usually spends a couple of hours, at least, with a customer." Once you have that custom Let there be lighting A new business dealing in lighting fixtures and accessories acces-sories is open at 1351 East f t: u . nin t Lighting has branched into Park City from its main store in Salt Lake. Owner Pete Casey, a native of Dublin, Ireland, is currently manning the display dis-play room in the Park City Emporium. In the lighting business for 11 years, Casey said he is offering complete illumination services to developers de-velopers and contractors as well as retail customers. Casey said he will be hiring a sales person for the local store and will be making personal contacts in the Park City area. He has been doing business here out of his Salt Lake store for some time, he said, and decided to make the business more accessible to area residents. The Salt Lake outlet is located at 4290 S. State Street. Casey was a London resident resi-dent before moving to Utah, where he said he plans to stay forever. Up here ! On the third floor! The sign in the third-floor window says "Open". Gwen and Charles Latterner seemed seem-ed worried that it wasn't noticeable from the street. But a sandwich sign on the sidewalk helps to guide you. And after a short walk up the stairs of the 614 Main Street building you can easily find the Latterner's Old Town Gallery. The day before, the gallery had hosted a reception for 300 people for their exhibit of eight Utah artists. And there was a bustling air in the place, as the various styles of the paintings collided with each other.The Latterners were still busy hanging pictures, worrying that so-and-so's paintings were crammed into a corner, or wondering if this nature scene complemented that nude sketch next to it. The first exhibit, Charles aid, was risky an all-abstract all-abstract show including metal sculptures by Frank Nackos. One of his works sits by the west window. It resembles a thresher twisted into a pretzel shape. It's all red on. one side, and all frame, Noaker can supply custom parts by Campag-nolo Campag-nolo and Avocet. If you find that the standard 10- or 15-speed bicycle won't hold up to dirt roads and Park City chuck-holes, chuck-holes, Noaker offers the "Stump Jumper," a specially-designed machine with extra-tough rims and wide tires. "It's made to take extreme abuse," he says. "I firmly believe it's the bike to have." If you already have a bicycle but need a frame alignment or a rim straightened, straight-ened, Noaker can take care of that. He has ordered a compressor (for pneumatic tools) and parts-cleaning equipment. "I think repairs will be the backbone of the business," he says. If pushing pedals isn't your idea of a good time, but you can't wait to latch onto a gust of wind at Rockport or Deer Creek, Sid's still may be the ticket. The store offers a line of sailboards, known as Windgliders, which have been selected for use in the 1984 Olympics. Noaker says the store also plans to offer another line of sailboards specifically for daily rentals, and to provide lessons (one free with the purchase of a board). "No one will buy a board without getting some formal instruction," he says. But it's too damn cold to be out on a sailboard, you say. Sid's has the answer for that too, with a complete line of wetsuits made by Seal Marine Mar-ine of Great Britain. Sid Ueytake and Tom Noaker celebrated the grand Pete orange on the other. When the sun rays of late afternoon float in through the window, they bounce off and around the blades to produce prisms of color. The gallery, they said, sprang from their common love of art. Gwen's local interest goes way back. "I was involved in the first art show in Park City, around '62 or '63." Charles said he was moved to study art in part, by the long years of banal hotel-room hotel-room living as a consultant. "After a while, you can't tell them apart," he said. "The Marriott in Salt Lake is the same as the one in Ohio." During two years in New York, the Latterners acquired acquir-ed the habit of visiting art galleries. In 1979, they moved back to Park City, and began thinking about their own gallery. A Main Street address was hard to find because building space was expensive. "We rented a space here when the walls were just boards," said Gwen. Locating on the third floor, said Charles, was a "venture in faith."

When the next ski season rolls around, Sid's will offer some equipment for back-country back-country touring, and also expects to provide repair facilities for alpine skiers. However, Noaker says he has no illusions about stocking stock-ing large quantities of alpine equipment in competition with other firms already well established in the Park City area. Casey Potted plants hang from the ceiling, classical music softly plays from one corner, and near the window you find a cluster of non-sale items by Midway wood sculpturist Ken Lynn ducks, pelicans, snakes, and two magnificent hobbyhorses. Their ties with regional artists are good. "At least once a day someone contacts us," said Charles. They hold the exclusive Park City rights to sell prints by Olaf Wieghorst, the Western artist art-ist who is praised as the latter-day Remington and Russell. The Newspaper asked Charles for some sage advice ad-vice on art appreciation. "A person should study something some-thing about composition and the various techniques," he responded. The viewer who says "I know what I like" doesn't want to go beyond the surface. "But art is a growth process," he said. The Old Town Gallery is open 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday, and noon to 6 p.m. on Sunday.
