Having just recently moved here, Art and Nancy Samson appear to be enthusiastic about their new home, saying that they are excited about being able to ski out their back door in lift lines that are considerably shorter than those found at Mt. Hood. And they are more than happy to trade the wet winters Oregon is famous for, for winters that although may be colder, are relatively dryer. They admit that they are looking forward to seeing the sun during the winter. A sight that may go away "for months," in Oregon, according to Art. The move came as a result of a job transfer for Art, who is currently a pilot for Western Airlines. He hopes that by making Salt Lake City his base, he will have more time to get involved with both his family and the community. "That is one of the biggest pluses about moving here more time with the family," explains Art, who has been commuting to Portland the past few years. "We felt that it was a good time to make a change," admits Nancy. "With travel benefits it is easy to go back to Oregon when we want." The family has decided to give DOWNS Advertising Space & v-xa.x v. 4, : A 1 New Neighbors Park City a try for "at least a year" and if it doesn't work out, they'll simply trade the dry back for the wet. "It's not as if we're a million miles away," contends Art, who has flown for Western for nine years. The family of four, (not including Golden Retriever, Duke) hope to get daughter, Becky, enrolled at the University of Utah. The 18-year-old is currently attending Cottie University Univer-sity in Missouri as a sophomore. Daughter, Cathy, started at Park City High School this week as a new freshman. She admits that she is not unhappy about starting high school in a new state because she would have been going to a new school in Oregon if the family had not moved. Mrs. Samson admits that Cathy takes care of them. She's in charge of cooking while mom and dad fix up the house. Her gourmet cooking keeps the two well-energized as they attend to their hobby of house-renovating. house-renovating. The family is currently working on a house in Thaynes Canyon. Ca-nyon. Both Art and Nancy attended Lewis and Clark College just outside of Lake Oswego. The two moved to Florida, while Art was stationed in the navy at Pensicola and Nancy finished up her degree at the University Univer-sity of West Florida. Back in Oregon, Nancy was involved in-volved in teaching aerobics and running run-ning a picture-framing business. She hopes that in time she can start one in Park City or work for her old business in Oregon out of Utah. "It'll be my turn to be the commuter." CcDimtt&munedl jfirawnm. Redhouse from A1 groups of people who all contributed to this community calling each other names." She said the Park City Community Church, of which she is a board member, had been offered the house free of charge to fix up for their own. "But it would have cost $100,000 just to bring it up to code," she said. Councilman Jim Santy called the building a "firetrap" and said while he was in favor of saving historic buildings whenever possible the red house was "just too far gone." Councilwoman Kristen Rogers was the only member of the council to speak for restoring the building. "I have a great deal of respect for the Egyptian Theatre and I thank Randy for that," she said.

On a trip out to Park City a few years ago, Nancy admits that they were "blown away" with the skiing here. The lack of lift lines sold them on Utah skiing. The family says that they have not been skiing much in past years because of the crowds characteristic of skiing on the west coast. Art jokes that one of the promises of coming to Park City was a new have respect for renovation. His own architect who has done other historic renovations says it can be done. We should keep the faith with the public... with what has been done in the past." Rogers then made a motion to deny the appeal to demolish the building. The motion died for lack of a second. Shellenberger then made a motion to allow demolition and require Fields to produce a "faithful reconstruction using as many features from the original house as possible." To that end, the motion said Fields must complete the project in 180 days, use at least two sides of the original siding in the finished house and keep the exposed rock founda Copy Deadline Oct 3 Vmnm PA K s : ' v' 1 iA 1. 1 1 , - jfn ifiti (iftjurti j f 1 V.

He also must post a $120,000 letter of credit. The motion passed with Mac-Quoid, Mac-Quoid, Shellenberger and Santy voting aye, Rogers nay and Doilney abstaining. Fields said he will start on the house, "as soon as possible" and plans to have the project completed by winter. He said he plans to use the restored house as training center for Mrs. Fields employees and possibly as a test kitchen. In a telephone interview in-terview from California, Wednesday, Wednes-day, Fields also said he may not connect con-nect the house to the mall by a proposed pro-posed tunnel. "I'm not sure we're going to do the tunnel," he said. "There are not that many days a year we need it." K CITY j |
