Jeanne Croy 649-9200 Amid Sod Iltt (Gapes Q Q Q BY TOM CLYDE Behind the Pearly Gates The hot news from the Planning Commission this last week is gated communities. A development in Deer Valley wants to put a gate up on the entrance road, with a fancy gate house, staffed round the clock by some aspiring mall cop armed with a clip board and a flashlight. The Planning Commission was unanimous in not liking the design for the proposed gate house (the statue of Saint Peter apparently was too big, and the names of the property owners appeared on his tablet in neon), but there was a heated discussion about the nature of gated communities in general. In fairness, I have to confess that I live in a gated community. com-munity. If we didn't keep the gate closed, there would be cows grazing in the front yard. So, even though my house is technically in a gated community, it's not quite the same. I have some doubts about gated communities and what message that sends about the town as a whole. Some would argue that Park City, the whole place, is a gated community, where you have to show either an American Express Card or evidence of local employment employ-ment to get past the Osguthorpe Dairy, but I think that is maybe a little extreme. People with large credit limits on their Visa cards are also welcome here. Anyway, not being sure about gated communities in general, and tainted by the technicality of living in one, I thought I better call my friend Walt the drywaller to find out what the common man has to say about gated com-munities. com-munities. So I asked old Walter about it. "I'm all for it. Gated communities are the best thing since sliced bread," Walt said. "Walt, I'm surprised at you. I would have thought that you would take offense at the gate, the mall cop and clip board and the whole routine. What's so great about a gated community ? " "Well, the fact is, those people need security." "Which people? "I asked. "The ones that live in those gated places. They're nuttier nut-tier than a Snickers bar. For example, last year I was drywalling this huge place in (here he named a certain prestigious subdivision in Park City, but the Drywaller's Canon of Ethics will not permit me to repeat the details of any private home here). We were just getting started taping it, and there was drywall mud everywhere. So this couple who own the house stop by to see how we are doing, and walk all around the inside of the house. " "So, that's nothing unusual. Owners of new houses always like to see what's happening." "OK, but, like, this lady is wearing a full length fur coat, high heeled shoes, and enough jewelry to retire on. He's got brand new cowboy boots without a speck of dust on them, $100 blue jeans with creases in them, and a Rolex that costs more than my house. This is how they dress for a tour of the construction site. So within about ten minutes, she has drywall mud globbed all over the fur, both heels are broken off the shoes, and somehow, don't ask me how, there is roofing cement on his Rolex and he snagged the dolphin hide boots on a big sixteen penny nail sticking up." It sounded pretty bad to me. "So what did they do?" "Well, while they've ruined my life's earnings in clothes, he's passing out about $50,000 in change orders, and both of them just ignoring the glob of drywall mud on her fur." "Are you sure they noticed it?" "It was as big as a grapefruit. They noticed. He kept looking at his watch, like he was checking the time, only the whole front of it was covered with roofing cement. He finally asked me what time it was. The thing was, instead in-stead of dealing with any of it, they just pretended that there wasn't this big glob of drywall mud on her fur coat, or that the heels of her shoes were supposed to stick out to the side instead of down. He was pretending that if you pay extra, the Rolex people will put a big wad of black goo on your watch right at the factory." "Weil, OK," I said, "but what does any of this have to do with gated communities? I'm not sure I get the connection con-nection between drywall mud on the lady's fur coat and some guy with a Barney Fife complex standing in a phone booth in the middle of the road all night long." "Walt was stunned. "You mean you don't get it? These people are really crazy. They are a danger to themselves and society. There is no connection with reality there. If they didn't have cash, these folks would be sleeping in Pioneer Park. They need to be kept in gated communities for their own protection and for ours. Gates on the entry roads are probably not enough. Personally, I think fences with barbed wire on the top are a better idea. They only get to come out when there is some normal person with them who promises to take responsibility." Now I was confused. Walt's point about the very rich being different from you and me is well taken, and I have seen times where they need the help of an interpreter inter-preter of sorts to deal with everyday things like car windows win-dows that have to be cranked up and down or garage doors that don't open themselves. But something was still wrong here. "Walt, are you saying that those gates, and the guy in the guard house are there for our protection, to keep the rich folks in their gated communities?" "That's what I'm saying, and it's a darn good idea. They do it at the insane asylum, why not here?" "Walt, in your own innocent way, you've completely missed the point again. Those gates are not there to keep the people who own the big houses from escaping and running amok in Albertsons. Those gates are there to keep people like you and me from driving through their neighborhood. The gates are to keep us out, not to keep them in." Walt reached for another handful of pretzels. He thoughtfully ate a few, staring down at the bar. Finally he said, "Really? They want to lock me out? Well, what do you know." Sttirnlke a VeSim JBY.TERI ORR Must be the season of the... I love the way the snow looks on the mountains, on the trees and on the rooftops. I am not so crazy about how the snow looks on my sidewalk and driveway and windshield. wind-shield. Aestetically, I love winter practically, it leaves me cold. Over the years, the hour when I write this column has evolved so that it is very late at night after other chores of the paper are done. That means tonight I am sitting here in my corner office with the terrific view windows, freezing because right now the below-zero temperatures outside are working their way inside. I have my coat over my legs and layers of turtlenecks and sweaters and other gear under there. Every year about this time, when my mother calls from her sunlit home in the the Bay Area, we have the same arguement why don't I just pack up and come home to claim my rightful place as a fifth generation Californian. I know the arguements I wasn't raised in the cold and the snow I have poor circulation and one day will succumb to frostbite of the entire body I didn't learn to drive under such dangerous conditions Life is hard enough, so why do I insist on fighting the elements along with the establishment? Mother means well. (Oh God, deliver me from having my own children issue those same words.) She just doesn't get it. And so while I will complain about stoking the fire, and putting on snow tires and needing new mittens, mit-tens, I will patiently, once again, try to justify to her why I have spent my entire adult life living in the mountains. It's not because I am a winter sports enthusiast OK, regular readers of this column know I am not an any season sports enthusiast. My children's father was a ski instructor at Tahoe and for years he tried to make an enthusiastic, en-thusiastic, skilled skier out of me. He failed. I can make it down most any run with no form and no style and without even, my favorite Hemingway term, "grace under pressure." I don't love winter because I need to pit myself against the moguls. (Someday, I will find a story where I can use the headline about Moguls on moguls maybe during film festival, or Senator's Cup. . . ) Maybe it's the manic in me, but I need the extremes I need the bitter cold of winter to appreciate the dry, desert summer. I need to see the leaves disappear in the fall to find joy in the budding of the trees each spring. But I think I live in a harsh climate because I need to feel alive, and tested. I understand people in L.A. may feel tested by the freeways, or by getting tickets to a play, or getting in the door to see Mr. Big for an interview. Every year at the start of the season, I search for last year's snow scraper. If I find it in the garage or tucked into a dark corner of the car trunk, it is only after some time spent searching. So I am forced, for days or even weeks, to improvise. I snapped a credit card at the start of last season and there seemed to be some message in that. If the snow is light enough, I can use the orange plastic-wrapped Salt Lake Tribune to just brush it away. Building a fire has such a primitive feel to it. Keeping the home fires burning isn't a cozy little phrase in the mountains it is a neccesity. It takes work to bring in the wood and watch the sparks. But the hour when the flames become embers is magical. A house with only central heating misses all that. Icicles make me laugh, and so do dogs with snowy backs and little children in abominable snowbundles. And it strikes a vein with me I live in the mountains because I'm a seasonal soul. I need to have my whole world change completely every couple of months. I need to know I can survive the challenges the weather provides. pro-vides. If I can deal with a harsh winter storm, there isn't much the work-a-day world can dish out that seems insurmountable. fJ Bed...Bath...& beyond .
