SCOTT SHEJPARK RECORD Planting time has arrived in the mountains by Bruce Lewis OF THE RECORD STAFF "I use June 15 as Park City's first frost-free date, when it's usually safe to put out plants and not run a great risk of harming them because of the frost," said Maria Barndt, Park City's landscape gardener. Judging by last Thursday night's very-near-freezing temperatures and sleet which fell in some local areas, Barndt's rule-of-thumb makes sense. "Park City has a relatively short frost-free growing season, much shorter than Salt Lake City," she said. The first fall frost can be anticipated antici-pated around the first week or two of September. With the area's near-desert-dry summers, Barndt has one cardinal rule for would-be area gardeners: "Don't put it in the ground, walk away and expect it to grow on its own. You have to care for plantings, give them a good start, and take care of them." "Everyone has their own opinions about what plants do well in Park City and how to plant them, Barndt said, as she provided some general advice to would-be gardeners. "Look for plants which grow well in climate zones 1 through 4, which are the colder-temperature zones in the country," she said. "Plants which are rated for zone 5 are 'iffy' up here." "Avoid planting trees during the heat of the summer July and August," she said, adding that most trees do well if planted in the spring or in the fall. Monitor freshly-planted trees during dur-ing the fall and water them if the weather remains dry after the growing grow-ing season ends. "Shrubs can be planted almost any time during the summer, including the hot months," Barndt said. She recommended that plants be put in the ground as soon as possible after purchase. "If you can't plant them right away, make sure they don't dry out. Shelter them from the wind and keep the soil around the roots moist," Barndt recommended. She added that an outside source of water such as a sprinkler or irrigation irriga-tion system is a must in areas which are not naturally wet. Even in wet areas, supplemental water may be needed during the driest part of the Please see P.C. freeze, A-2 Mirror Lake Hwy. opens The Utah Department of Transportation recently announced that S.R. 150 to Mirror Lake in the Uinta Mountains - more commonly com-monly known as the Mirror Lake Highway - is open to traffic.

Sticking to Whistler trip teaches the Basin planning commissioners com-missioners to define a vision and stick to it by Kirsta H. Bleyle OF THE RECORD STAFF Four members of the Snyderville Basin Planning Commission are back from their trip to Whistler, British Colombia, with a new resolve and a crisp RC. and traffic-consulting firm 'discontinue' their relationship Over $500K already spent by city on firm by Jay Hamburger OF THE RECORD STAFF Park City will soon part company with the Frederic R. Harris traffic-consulting firm that the city employed to devise a long-range transportation plan. "We mutually came to an agreement to discontinue our relationship," Park City Public Works Director Jerry Gibbs said. "We felt it was of mutual benefit." Harris had been employed by the city since March 1997. Park City has spent $511,536 for Harris' services. Harris had been working on many transportation-related projects for the city, including helping the city begin design a transit center and a new bus system to serve the city. Gibbs said the city had become frustrated at the length of time Harris had spent on its Kids' fair in City Park The Soaring Wings Montessori School will hold its fifth annual Children's Fair in City Park on Saturday, June 6 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. The fair will benefit child- and environment-oriented causes. Events include camel rides, demonstrations, demon-strations, and the raffling off of a Princess Diana Beanie Baby donated by Tiff's Cards and Gifts.

Basin planning commission members Bruce Taylor, Donna VanBuren, Mark Young, and Max Greenhalgh traveled to the Canadian ski resort last weekend to compare its pedestrian-driven resort center cen-ter to plans The Canyons ski area has for transportation planning. Park City Councilman Paul Sincock had similar problems with the time involved in Harris' planning. "I want the job done in a timely manner . . . this thing got behind," Sincock said. Sincock also said he did not feel Harris was the correct firm to be planning Park City's transit system. He said Harris focused on capital projects, pro-jects, rather than traffic flow. "My impression was that the team were primarily architects and interested in building build-ing structures rather than the underlying traffic problems," he said. The city now must hire a new transportation-consulting firm to complete its long range planning. Gibbs said the city is leaning toward the Leigh, Scott, Cleary firm, located in Denver and Lake Tahoe, Calif. Leigh, Scott, Cleary has worked with the city on past projects and was second behind Harris when Park City chose Harris in 1997.

During a recent meeting of the Legislature's Political Subdivisions Interim Committee the idea of granting term extensions to those elected officials in 2002 Winter Olympic-venue cities was put forth by Rep. David Ure (R-Kamas). (R-Kamas). The concept would allow those who currently hold office, but who are up for re-election in the fall of 2001, to serve in their current positions through the 2002 Winter Olympics in February of that year. Their terms would end that spring, probably in March. The terms are currently cur-rently scheduled to expire in January 2002. Park City elected officials that could take advantage of such a proposal are Mayor Brad Olch, City Councilman Roger Harlan and City Councilwoman Shauna Kerr. Each won re-election in landslides last fall. A Park City resident and a Salt Lake City resident, neither an elected official, approached him with the concept, Ure said. "I have mixed emotions," Ure said about the idea.
