PARK CITY, UTAH 3 -0 Youngsters dream of becoming sugar plum fairies by Lisa Antonucci OF THE RECORD STAFF Even though it's only September, children all across Utah are already dreaming of sugar plum fairies and doing their best toy soldier impersonations imperson-ations in anticipation of Ballet West's traditional holiday performance of The Nutcracker. Since its inception, Ballet West has included local children in its annual performance and this year will be no exception. Bend Arnold, rehearsal mistress for the young dancers and former head ballet mistress of Ballet West, says they have included local children since the 1960s. "The party scene looks much better with real children than with adults pretending to be children. And it really helps create the illusion of the toys and mice and everything growing bigger while the children stay small." Arnold notes the idea of including the children should be credited to Willam Christiensen, founder of Ballet West and choreographer for The Nutcracker. It was his vision to have the children participate, and at 94, he still enjoys attending the rehearsals and performances to see them. While the children add to the visual visu-al experience of the audience, Arnold points out that the experience is particularly partic-ularly beneficial for the children themselves. them-selves. "It helps with their self-confidence and ability to relate to other children," she explains. "It also gives them the opportunity to dance with professional dancers. Even if they never become professionals themselves, them-selves, they will always remember that they were in this performance." Arnold also notes that many dance studios across the state are represented. represent-ed. Over 750 aspiring young dancers auditioned last year and she expects at least the same number this year. The production will include 70 children per cast, and this year's Nutcracker will have four casts. Auditions are open to all qualified ballet students. To be eligible for auditions, audi-tions, dancers must be nine years or older with a minimum of one year dance training. Both boys and girls should be between 4' to 5'8" in height. Registration for auditions will be held Monday and Tuesday, Sept. 9 and 10, from 4-7 p.m. at the Capitol Theatre lobby, 50 West 200 South, Salt Lake City. No registrations will be taken after these dates. Children need to be present at registration reg-istration so their height can be determined, deter-mined, and dancers will be notified of audition times and locations when they register.

Auditions will be held Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Marriott Center for Dance at the University of Utah. For more information, contact Ballet West offices at (801)-323-6901.

It all started two years ago, when the Park City School District decided to charge school impact fees on all new construction. After the school district had collected nearly $2.5 million, the state legislature outlawed the impact fees. Because of the legislature's decision, TCAP, L.C. claims it has a right to the $305,370 it paid to the county last year. According to Blake Ostler, attorney for the school district, it does not matter who paid the fees, county statute requires the refund to go to the current property owner of record.

The school district, he added, chose to offer the homeowners home-owners the opportunity to apply for refund of the fees. At that point, the debate began over whether the person who paid the impact fees or the current property owner should receive the refund. Previously, Jim Lewis of Pitchfork Development chose to challenge chal-lenge the statute and took the school district, dis-trict, the county, and Snyder's Mill homeowners home-owners to court. The fees, Lewis said, should go to whoever originally paid the fee.

Pitchfork agreed to Judge Brian's decision, as did 52 of the 58 homeowners. The additional addi-tional six homeowners, however, decided to fight the split and enlisted Park Citv Attorney Ruth Wagner to represent Uieni in future litigation against the developer. Ostler agreed with the decision to spin the fees, and recommended all homeowners homeown-ers and developers consider doing the same thing, while keeping the school district dis-trict out of the process. Because of Pitchfork's lawsuit, he added, the entire process of returning the fees to the homeowners home-owners will be slowed down.

Not so. And plaintiffs in a lawsuit against the Board of Commissioners of the Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control say a lifting of at least some restrictions is overdue. Not yet, say the commissioners. They claim they haven't been given enough time to review the issue. "But they should have taken some immediate action," after the Supreme Court ruling, counters Salt Lake City attorney Brian Barnard, who represents the coalition of plaintiffs in the suit. The five commissioners commission-ers should have lifted the current ban on advertising beer prices at the least, he said. Instead. "The liquor commission has played games since the May 13 decision! They've basically been sitting on their hands saying. 'Golly, gee we don't know what to do.' That's hogwash. At least three commissioners commis-sioners are attorneys who. at least it's reported, report-ed, can read a court ruling. They don't need four months to decide what to do."
