Local club offers broad spectrum of recreational, social and cultural programs By JANA MCQUAY Of the Record staff The Park City Mountain Sports Club, which recently celebrated its 10th anniversary, boasts about 300 members. mem-bers. A steady stream of members moving in and out of the Park City area have participated in the club's myriad activities over the years and continue to keep the club healthy and strong. "We do a number of sporting and social activities," said Jay Frankenfield, new president of the club. In the winter, members gather weekly to enjoy alpine and cross-country skiing, snowshoeing activities and special spe-cial events. "We'll go on a moonlight snowshoe and enjoy a potluck dinner," Frankenfield said. Summertime can become even more sports intensive. "Virtually every weekend during the summer, we'll go hiking and biking," he said. "Then we do a lot of other things, like camping and rafting trips. We'll combine that with mountain biking and hiking." Former club president Don Jacobs, who remains on the board of directors, gets excited about other trips as well. "We have an annual road bike wine country trip." he said. "We explore the wineries ourselves." They've gone to vineyards in California, Oregon and Colorado. "We'll fly there and take our road bikes and tour 25-50 miles a day, stopping at vineyards along the way," Jacobs said. Last summer, the club offered to its members the opportunity to participate in a caving trek in Timpanogas Caves, rock climbing in the Uintas, and kayaking on the Weber, Provo and Green rivers. "We often have an international trip also," said Jacobs. "Last year, we had a seven-day cruise on the Volga River between Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia." Member Barbara Newman says the club is particularly nice because it welcomes a mix of singles and couples. "It's an open group," Newman said. "The only thing you need is energy and a desire to enjoy recreational activities and cultural events." In addition to sports, the club fosters a social environment. environ-ment.

And that's not including includ-ing his Santa Claus collection. Not only has the master woodcarver given away some of his art as holiday gifts, but he also has been commissioned commis-sioned to carve specific pieces. Given a design, it appears he could carve just about anything out of wood, as long as it isn't too big. After spending 20 years as a financial consultant for nonprofits like hospitals, museums and colleges, col-leges, Bartholomay dedicated 12 years to learning about the art of woodcarving. He enrolled in a number num-ber of classes in Texas to learn figure fig-ure carving and has spent countless hours creating a collection of birds, including a robin, cardinal, chickadee chick-adee and a bluebird. "Then there is relief woodcarv ing, which is a flat board you put your design on and carve ' carving in the round, where y pie." Bartholomay prefers to use bass-wood bass-wood and mahogany, but now that he and his wife live Park City, he says he's going to try aspen. He also has carved pieces from walnut and pine. Starting with a sharp pocketknife, whittlers advance in the art of wood-carving wood-carving by using a number of tools, including chisels, gouges, spoon f- bits and straight knives.

"First it's the carving, which is timely. Then it's the sanding, which is equally as timely because you use so many different grades of sandpa-per. sandpa-per. Bartholomay has all kinds of carving books to refer to when selecting an idea for a new project. "I pick out something I like," he said. "And then I ask, 'Do I want it bigger or smaller?' You move from there. It takes a lot of imagination on the part of the carver." The largest pieces Bartholomay has carved include a 14-inch a 15- by 10-inch carving, and 14- diameter wood which can be hung on a wall or set on a table stand. Bartholomay elaborated elaborat-ed about one of his larger larg-er pieces. "It's a Norwegian design that I picked up in the Norwegian Museum in Decorah, Iowa," he said.
