Show Page B6 Thursday, March 19, 1987 Park Record IPeDS(DimcmIl PcfflimgimTDto Parkites hit with dose of Spring fever PERSONAL COPIERS PC25 100 Years Ago "As spring begins to break forth, the camp takes on new life and business improves," wrote the Park Record. But the warming conditions wreaked havoc on the dirt roads, turning them to sloppy mud. The Record noted that the roads to the mines were so soft during the day, that coal and supplies could only be hauled up between sunset and sunrise. Similarly, the roads between bet-ween the Park and Salt Lake were so treacherously muddy that stage travel had to be suspended until a few days of sunny weather dried them up. "Saddle horses from the stables sent into the hills now go barefoot," said the paper. Then, with a hint of humor, Editor Sam Raddon wrote, "There is no occasion, though, for the small boy to go behind th barn, take off his shoes, and try to play horse." Spring fever found most Parkites outside tidying up their yards, airing out blankets on the clothesline, and sprucing up their homes with a fresh coat of paint. All efforts seemed to be centered around removing the last vestiges of the cold, harsh winter. For example, the city mar-shall mar-shall had a force of men . out spreading the giant show banks piled pil-ed up along the sidewalks into the middle of Main Street. That road in From Time to Time particular had been ravaged over the winter, and the Record predicted that "it won't be long before the bottom bot-tom falls out of the road if the present pre-sent spring thaw continues." 25 Years Ago The Record announced with seeming seem-ing pride that the town had swelled to a population of 1300 permanent residents. Although certainly small by most standards, Park City still had managed to with the approval of the U.S. Congress for a $40,000 Community Com-munity Facility load. In a conversation with Sen. Frank Moss and Congressman Blaine Peterson from Washington, D.C., the record learned that the loan would be used for street improvements. im-provements. Since Main Street was part of the Utah highway system, it was slated for improvements, including in-cluding widening it and rebuilding parts that had deteriorated due to harsh weather. New sidewalks, street lights and new water connections connec-tions would help revitalize the downtown area, with some of the monies also going toward Park Avenue improvements. 10 Years Ago Things were looking promising for Park City to at last win approval for an FM radio station. Parkite Ed Snoddy and former resident Rick Albert had begun laying the groundwork ground-work for a station in 1973 when they conducted a local survey to determine deter-mine the feasibility and support for a community station. Then began the tedious application process for an FCC license, and one year later an FM broadcast frequency from Salt Lake was secured. But then the FCC put a freeze on all new applications applica-tions because of the tremendous backlog. The freeze finally thawed in January of 1977, and the two supporters sup-porters again went back to work. The effort was helped along with a letter of endorsement from both the City Council and the Chamber of Comerce, plus a letter of commit ment for space from Bob Wells in the Mt. Air Mall. According to Ed Snoddy, Snod-dy, the town could look forward to receiving permission for transmitter transmit-ter construction within the month, with the first broadcast occuring within the year. A new private club opened in townthe Sirloin Saloon beneath the Alpine Prospectors Lodge at the top of Main Street. Operated by Greg Ashe and Bud Nations, the pair held a grand opening party that showcased showcas-ed the mixology talents of Jimmy Law, the rockworth of "Alamo" Dave Mueller, stained glass by Clifford Clif-ford Funk, and an exquisite bar by Chris Geer. According to The Newspaper, "Also lending a helping elbow behind the bar if one of his classified ads isn't answered soon will be Jamie "Steakhouse" (yes, he does have a real name) Grizell." As only Editor Steve Dering could sum things up, he wrote, "So whether it's to see a United Nations, talk Law, get Housed, or Just to make an Asche of yourself, stop in." Obituaries Pearl H.
