Carter to ; stay on as city attorney State officiall announced with regret today that Park City Attorney Jim Carter would not be taking over his appointed position as Director of Gas, Oil and Mining. "We understand how difficult it is to get good child care, even in Utah, but once we found out the Carters had hired an illegal alien for a nanny for baby Harry, we just couldn't go ahead with the appointment. You know, the Zoe Baird problem and all," said Max Seguhami spokeman for the Governor's office. Carter was good-natured about the withdrawl of the offer. "Really, could you see me in a suit everyday?" Deer Valley to install mirrors Deer Valley patrons may be able to get a new view of skiing next season. According to resort marketing manager Bob O'Neill, the resort will be installing minors along the sides of two of the runs at Deer Valley over the summer. Skiers will be able to watch themselves as they ski. "We have a lot of high profile, image oriented customers here," said O'Neill. "They never like to be too far from a good mirror. You know, you spend a couple of thou on a ski suit, and you like to see how it looks under all conditions." The resort will also be installing blow dryers in the lift mazes so that patrons can keep their hair in perfect condition on those less-than-perfectdays. "Oh what fools we mortals be."

"With our resolution, there will be no more meetings until 9 p.m.," Mayor Brad Olch said in a telephone interview. "We have resolved to make, our decisions firmly; we won't tolerate any waffling on subjects. And we'll stick by those decisions, good or bad." The impetus for the resolution came after an outcry last week when the council voted to make all of the streets in Park City one way, Discussions In reversing their earlier decision this month City Council announced Tuesday they would be returning Main Street to one way traffic but this time with a twist. Called the "have it your way plan" traffic will be one way up the street to the Post Office area.

Course developer Dick Roberts appealed the decision to the Board of County Commissioners claiming the Summit County Development Code has no zone for , golf courses. Monday, the commission sided with Roberts. ",'What we are talking about is not whether or not a golf course shoiuld be there, but the manner in which it should come forward," Commissioner Gene Moser said.

Specifically, commissioners directed their planning staff to study the following issues: Does the developer have enough water rights to irrigate the course? Will irrigation runoff adversely affect wetlands downstream? What sort of visual impacts will the course have on the area? How will increased traffic in the region affect residents in surrounding areas? How will the course impact wildlife in the region?

Planning Commission Chairman Bruce Erickson said while he thought the resolution might speed things up, the commission's relative inaction oh projects was really just a well-thought-out ploy to slow growth by boring developers to death. Therefore, he added, "We probably wouldn't be interested in adopting it Besides, we have to give Council Member and Commission Liaison Bob Richer something to do Wednesday nights."

Long time residents recall that the last time the mines operated, the noise from crushing , rock at the Ontario Mill was clearly audible as far away as Park Meadows. "It makes snow making sound like a kitten purring," said one former mine worker, "but the dust isn't so bad." Underground blasting will affect most of Deer Valley. Residents there will have to learn how to stack their glassware so that it is not broken by the vibration. "They do amazing things with explosives these days, and those folks probably won't notice it at all, other than a little motion now and then." Once full production is reached in the fall of 1993, the mines will be producing over 1,000 tons of ore a day. That will result in a high volume of dump trucks hauling the ore over Highway 224 to the freeway. "They won't exactly be bumper to bumper," said mine manager Kerry Geewwhiz, "but we are estimating about 500 trips a day. I don't believe I would 'recommend skateboarding on Deer Valley Drive any more." Company officials declined comment on rumors of a strip mine operation in the Solamere neighborhood. "With advances in technology, that has become a reasonable means of operation in some parts of the country," was all anyone would say. Following the announcement, the Company's stock, which is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, nearly doubled in price. "Real estate development is just too damn hard under the present political environment," said at company insider who declined to be identified. Todd Gabler chains himself in protest Political activist Todd Gabbler surprised council members last Thursday when he held members Ruth Gezalius and Leslie Miller down and chained himself to the two women. He was aided and abetted by two unidentified men in black leather coats and riding crops. Gabbler, who made the news last year by chaining himself to a bulldozer to prevent the construction of the Kmart building said the current unrest in the city council was "unacceptable." He brought a fifth of Jack Daniels for each of the trio and said there were so many places that delivered food he didn't see a real problem with the situation. Police Chief Frank Bell said the hostage crisis was not dissimilar to the SingerSwapp stand-off or the Waco, Texas incident "Crazy people do crazy things. We intend to bring in the - FBI special hostage team from Quantico. We've already started adjusting the temperature control in the building and leaving the windows open. We've piped in music from KPCW and after midnight we have Blair's voice telling Gabbler, "But, you didn't answer my question," over and over. That would break most people in a couple of hours but Todd is no stranger to combative situations. Actually we suspect after spending a couple of days between those two council members he'll just unchain himself and be grateful to get out of there." Gabbler said he is fighting the people's fight and would remain chained for as long as it took to get the two council members to resolve their differences. "Even if that means longer than the completion of highway 224. I know how to wait" |
