Most church chapels in early Park City were located on Park Avenue and are still being used for some purpose today. The . chapel in this photograph stood on Woodside Avenue's 1100 block and was gone after a mere 20 years. In 1 957 the membership member-ship of the Mormon (LDS) Church in Park City had grown to 900, and the historic chapel on Park Avenue (now the Blue Church Lodge) could no longer accommodate the congregation; Even though economic conditions in the city were not good, the members mem-bers were able to raise the necessary $1 1 4,000 for a new chapel within two years. Nine months later, in 1 960, the beautiful modern mod-ern building was completed. It provided a foyer, chapel and offices on the upper floor and a Relief Society room, classrooms and a kitchen on the lower floor. Unfortunately there were no parking facilities other than on the street In 1980 the building was sold to a developer and subsequently torn down. A new LDS Church Chapel on Monitor Drive was dedicated in 1983. : : ii "', I ' "V ; Lions Club sponsors diabetes screening The Park City Lions Club is sponsoring a free diabetes health screening in coordination with the American Diabetes Association and Intermountain Health Care (IHC), Saturday, Nov. 22, between the hours of 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. in Albertsons Pharmacy area. Lion Gary Bennion, Park City Lions Diabetes Chairman and local BankOne Banking Center Manager, states "This free diabetes dia-betes screening clinic will be offered to all ages and is aimed at providing free information to those who might be living with diabetes. November is the American Diabetes Association free-screening month. And the Association has made available literature and education materials on the subject of eye care and diabetic dia-betic retinopathy (diabetic eyes) and also foot care." Park City Lion Dr. George Joseph of the Park City IHC Family Practice, and his associate, Dr. Joseph Berman, also a family practice physician, and staff, will be on hand to conduct the finger sticks and measure blood glucose levels. Joseph notes, "We will also be offering a $25 full-lab blood analysis for those who want to take advantage of an extra good value. An IHC lab department representative will be coming to Park City to collect confidential samples." Blood pressures will also be taken. Prolonged elevated pressures pres-sures over a long period of time can also impair vision. Diabetes, however, is still the worldwide leading cause of visual loss. Lions International has proclaimed November its Lions Eye Health Month and Clubs worldwide continue con-tinue to raise funds and create awareness to fight diabetes and promote vision within developing and developed nations. The Park City Lions Club will be distributing literature in Spanish and English, as provided by the American Diabetes Association and IHC.

Web site teaches kids traffic safety practices The American Automobile Association (AAA) has created a safety Web site designed to prevent child death and injury caused by auto crashes a leading killer of children. "The Otto Club" Web site (www.ottoclub.org) features games, puzzles, animated stories and songs designed to teach traffic safety to kids ages three to eight. "Child pedestrians and passengers passen-gers are at great risk in auto collisions," colli-sions," said Merry Banks, traffic safety manager at AAA. Motor vehicle crashes are the number one cause of death for children chil-dren ages six to 14 years old, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. "Parents and teachers have long asked for a Web site for young children chil-dren that is educational and fun, as well as non-violent, non-commercial and free to all visitors," said Banks. "The Otto Club is all of these things." "To the best of our knowledge, it is the first Internet site teaching traffic safety to children," said Banks of the AAA affiliate for Utah, Northern California and Nevada. The site has six interactive destinations desti-nations that help children learn traffic safety. The activities contain messages on pedestrian safety, traffic traf-fic lights, safe places to play, proper use of safety belts and helmets, and appropriate clothing for weather conditions. Visitors to the Otto Club Web site can play, ask questions, and submit art for traffic safety contests. It is the latest addition to the ongoing ongo-ing public services on traffic safety from AAA. The Web site was inspired by "Otto the Auto," a remote-controlled car that visits schools and engages children in traffic safety exercises. Since 1991, "Otto the Auto" has visited hundreds of schools. Now, a virtual Otto hosts the Otto Club Web site "A Safe Place to Play." aoiB pnns9n Dio pniiovosi va TOE (WIMnM!E GME a nu-J if ( (1 i 4 mm if !&w-l$ imm' 30(IQG)(D(a8l COPY '1- |
