RSVP by calling (435) 640–1353 www.acueastwest.com because everyone wants to be here.” As in any relationship, he said, the town and the resort will disagree on certain issues. “It’s going to take time for Park City to get comfortable with Vail Resorts” he said but he believes the two share a passion for the community and sustainability. However, a major difference between Park City and Vail is land ownership. In Vail township, 80 percent of the land is federally owned and run by U.S. Forest Service. Since a majority of Park City’s green space is privately owned, there’s always the fear of overdevelopment. Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, August 27-30, 2016 Having a majority of private land ownership does have its perks, though, he said. “I think the privately owned land in Park City is one reason why there is such an awesome trail system here.” Another similarity between the two resort towns is the high cost of living. Cartin pointed out that, when people complain about pricey rents, “they don’t always take into account all the free amenities we enjoy.” He cited the free public transit system, free concerts and the extensive trails network as examples. Cartin said the city sustainability team’s most pressing goal is titled “Net Zero 2022.” The aggressive plan is to make town operations carbon neutral by the year 2022. Having net zero emissions means balancing a measured amount of carbon released, with an equal amount of carbon credits to offset the difference. Credits are earned by creating more open green space to absorb carbon, switching to renewable energy sources and implementing tighter environ- mental regulations. The city’s long-term goal, “Net Zero 2032”, aims to achieve citywide carbon neutrality by the year 2032. With help from Rocky Mountain Power, Park City will be changing the current coal-dependent grid to renewables in the next 16 years. Both Net Zero plans are getting a lot of attention. In May, the Mayor of Salt Lake City, Jackie Biskupski, vowed that her city would match Park City’s net zero goals. Cartin says this is an exciting time for the state of Utah to set an example for the world. Clean energies, like solar, are becoming less expensive, and “the sun’s never going to send you a bill.” He noted that Park City is already taking big steps toward the net neutrality by improving public transportation with rapid transit lines and buying zero-emissions electric buses. Overall, Cartin has been excited about residents’ commitment. “It’s not like pulling teeth here because people are already so supportive.” After move, Utah restaurant to stop open-carrying guns Firearms must now be concealed after complaints Associated Press OGDEN, Utah – A Utah restaurant known for kilt-clad servers who openly carry firearms will now have to keep them under wraps. The staff at Sea Bears Ogden Fish House can only carry concealed weapons now that the eatery has relocated to the city’s historic Union Station. Officials with the Union Station Foundation are not allow- ing open carry of firearms, the Standard-Examiner of Ogden reported. Initially, the contract that foundation executive Elizabeth Sutton negotiated with Sea Bears permitted opencarry but with conditions. They included owners and wait staff with firearms had to have undergone safety classes and background checks. Also, weapons had to be in holsters and guns could not be longer than 12 inches. All weapons could not be permitted outside of the restaurant in other parts of Union Station. The Union Station Foundation, however, received complaints that Sea Bears would retain its open-carry policy. As a result, Sutton exercised a provision that Union Station could ban open-carry al- together if the subject became an issue. “In this day and age, to see somebody carrying in public, you don’t know right away if it’s friendly or scary,” Sutton said. “So, to make everyone feel safe, we felt that opencarry does not meet our mission and goal.” Anyone with a concealedcarry permit can still carry a weapon under the contract, she added. Restaurant owners Monika and Tony Siebers, staunch Second Amendment supporters, declined to comment. “We’ve had a great relationship (with Union Station) and we’re excited to be here,” Monika Siebers said. “But as far as the open-carry, we’re not ready to say anything.” |
