QXjjfKLI Oil 3JL The Park Record D Section B Thursday, June 18, 1992 D Page B9 LL Preparations get underway for 4th of July celebration Compiled by KAT JAMES 1 00 years ago A real old-fashioned fourth It is going to be the most enthusiastic and enjoyable day Park City ever witnessed. No liquors will be sold on the grounds. That matter has been settled conclusively. Hon. O.W. Powers, of Salt Lake City, will deliver the oration and it will be worth listening to. W.W. Mackintosh of the Utah Central will advertise the celebration in Salt Lake in great shape. All the secret and semi-military organizations in the city will take part in the parade, which will be a monster in size and gay in color. The Utah Central will furnish the Fort Douglas baseball club free transportation to and from the Park on the Fourth. A good game is promised. The Crescent tramway will be for the use of visitors to the town on that day, and not for people who have been over it many times and know all about it. The "Horribles" will be one of the leading features of the parade and will interest old and young. There will be many unexpected and novel representations. Every business house in the city should be represented in the parade. Many of them are now making preparations to that end and the displays will undoubtedly be novel and thoroughly interesting. The procession will include a triumphal car, drawn by six horses and containing forty-nine beautiful young ladies representing the states and territories and the Goddess of Liberty. There is nothing more pleasant to look at than a bevy of handsome young girls. The parade will traverse all the principal streets of the city, while the singing, reading of the Declaration of Independence, oration and other kindred exercises will take place from the balcony of the Union Pacific depot. This will give the ladies and children an opportunity to see and hear this interesting part of the day's exercises. IMPROVE YOUR SWING THIS SUMMER.

The track, and the road leading thereto, will be placed in excellent shape and well-sprinkled throughout the day in order that people may not suffer with the dust and heat.

J.F. Collins, Deputy Estray Poundmaster 50 years ago Origin of the pocket park If the citizens of Park City, the city council and county commissioners would like to see what can be done with vacant building lots on our Main Street, after tumbled down, eye-sore shacks have been removed, have a look at what a few citizens and nature have accomplished at different old landmark building sites. The majestic Park City bank building site is now adorned by a worth-looking-at bit of flower gardening and our village post office. The Marsac mill site, where once stood a mill that turned wagon loads of mine rock into bars of silver, now is the site of our grade school (that turns out potential miners and their future wives) and from the bit of hillside landscape gardening there comes the scent of clover and flowers, unlike the acid fumes and dust from the old mill. The lot north of the old Park City hotel, where once stood the Waning Tavern; in front of and along the south side of the Memorial Building, that covers the site of M.M. Aschhelm's mmm 1 t. , ;, .-.- ,-, r,- gLJ popular selection of Rainbow RAINBOW Mercantile company's big store, where ox teams once adorned the street in front, is the tea tree covered Robison cottage. At the head of Main Street, for tourists and left-hand turners to admire, there is the colored rock wall and rock garden of the Creighbaum-Williams Creighbaum-Williams mansion, a bit of landscaping attractive to any community. Those holes in the ground and hillsides have been made attractive with a little work during the past twenty or thirty years. With a little cooperation, on the part of county commissioners, city fathers and the Better Park City League, flower gardens can be made to blossom forth on plank covered holes of demolished buildings, and the farmers, car riders and town folk walkers can have something to look at in the day time. Our "White Way" is admired by passers through between three and four in the morning. We can be beautiful. Supporting the war effort Last Saturday, Park City was mentioned in a War Bond and Stamp drive program over the air, as being one of the cities going over the top in the May bond sale. We are doing the same this June month, and will be ready on July first, designated as War Bond Day, to start buying our quota of America Preferred during the July drive. The rubber and scrap drive will net us enough to make the first payments. Sort of a rubber boat and bond exchange. 25 years ago Let's share this beauty Never in the memory of old-timers old-timers has this section of Utah been more beautiful, they declare. For this fact, of course, we can thank the extensive rains of this spring. The foliage is lush, every hillside and valley is green, with red tinting through in many places, and even the rocks have been washed clean. Play Systems, now A- f' PLAYGROUNDS OF UTAH We who live here are apt to take this gorgeous landscaping for granted, forgetting that millions of persons living elsewhere would thrill to this great natural, unspoiled beauty. It seems a good time to share it with as many as possible by writing a letter, something like this, to friends and relatives afar: "If the folks down the street arc wondering where to go on their vacation, why don't you tell them of the wonderful time you had when you visited this section? Remind them of the natural, unspoiled beauty of this section, and tell them that it's even prettier this summer than it was when you were here-- it's true, we've never seen it so wonderful. "Tell them they won't have to worry about so-called tourist prices out here- this is one of the few sections of the United States which doesn't turn into a county fair carnival during the summer. Suggest to them that fishing is fine, and not too expensive. Explain to them why Utah people are more friendly, helpful, hospitable, and sincerely human that those in most other states. "Mark a map for them, to prove how near to everything are the great unmarked forests and mountain lakes visited by few white people. As them if they aren't tired of camping behind a stack of beer cans. Tell them you've been out here yourself and can guarantee the best vacation time they ever spent in their lives." (And if they happen to live in California, tell them truthfully that there are more California cars on our highways right now than all the other outside cars put together. California people are coming to Utah to get a breath of cool, pure air.) You'll be doing the friends of your friends a favor, you'll be sharing the greatest beauty in America, and you'll be adding some to our state's economy. Try it. It is no accident that Park City High School seniors, once again, celebrated their graduation night safely this year. It took the generosity and involvement of many Park City-area residents to make sure that the festivities of Friday night (and Saturday morning) would pass without incident. The people of the Graduation Transportation free shuttle service would like to thank all of those involved, and especially: Dave Novelle and Park City Transportation Services, who provided the vans free of charge. Bob and Sally Wilkinson of PC PRINTINK, who printed the call-in cards. Sharon Eastman of Cellular One, who donated the use of a cellular phone. Jon Brinton, Jan Peterson and Jan Wilking, who guaranteed insurance on the vans. Gayle Higman and the people who organized the Graduation Celebration at the Park City Racquet Club. And last, but not least, the graduating seniors who left their cars at home. 1 0 years ago No exception to the rule The Kimball Art Center was given approval last week for its business license for the August Arts Festival, but without an exception to the open container liquor law. Last year, open containers were permitted as an exception during the two-day event, since a number of food booths along the street sold beer. That won't be the case this year. Police Chief Frank Ball said the open container exception presented a "monumental problem" for the 25 law enforcement officers who . will be on duty that weekend. And Councilman Bill Coleman said he felt the exception would discourage festival-goers from patronizing Main Street establishments that sold beer. The council unanimously agreed that the consumption of beer should be limited to beer gardens that make sure patrons stay inside its boundaries and don't wander onto Main Street with open containers, and to those bars that have a license to sell beer. Fast food getting faster The City Council last Thursday You can't cross a river in two strides. Consultation done in the privacy of your home or at my private home office located in Summit Park. 649-3878 5 k ' H O M h J fad a' U VJ fej sWaHuafl The people of Graduation Transportation: David Bertinelli Mike Moran Ron Flanders Kitty Moss Beth Fratkin Teri Orr Bill Geisdorf John Porter Dixie Geisdorf Robin Porter David Hampshire Jenny Poison Mark Heiss Dale Snyder Margie Hensley Sena Taylor Jenny Lewis Andr6 Vospette Julie Manwaring Jan Wilking Andrea Mather voted to amend the Land Management Code to allow drive-in drive-in restaurants as a conditional use in the General Commercial zone. The issue was raised as a result of a planning review of a Dairy Queen project proposed for Prospector Square. Currently, city ordinances do not allow restaurants to have a drive-up window. City Planning Director Bill Ligety suggested to the council that restaurants seeking the conditional use permit have at least 90 scats. While that is not "a magic number," said Ligety, the planning staff felt it would discourage restaurants from placing an emphasis on the drive-up feature instead of indoor dining. "It's a matter of what your philosophy about drive-up windows is," he said. "I thought Dairy Queens were part of Americana," quipped Mayor Jack Green. Replied Councilwoman Helen Alvarez: "We're not part of America, Jack. We're part of Camclot." The councilmcn discussed the fact that most restaurants in Park City have an average of 50 seats. Coleman said there should be no limit on the seating and that approval should be based on the discretion of the Planning Commission through the conditional use permit process.
