Continued from A-1 Mining picnic said the Friends group has been hard at work over the past six weeks planning the picnic but, she added, they’ve gotten a lot of support as well. “We’ve got a lot of nice donations from local businesses,” Cone said. “There’s a sausage company, Beltex Meats. Red Bicycle bread. Tandem Chocolates will have chocolate for us there. We love to make s’mores with her chocolate. “All these local businesses pitched in, which is so great.” Elliott said the Friends are looking for support anywhere they can find it. Earlier this month, they set up a booth at a meeting of the Utah Mining Association, and she said they will be doing the same at a convention in September. “We brought our storyboards and we got the whole list of participants, so we’re going to hit them up,” she said. “The mining industry people are thrilled [about the preservation effort]. They love something positive in the community that’s all about mining, about preserving mining heritage and telling a positive story.” Wednesday evening’s picnic, Cone said, is just one step on a very long march toward preserving Park City’s mining heritage. “It’s really about getting people to sign up for memberships with the Continued from A-1 Driver will face trial er had a blood-alcohol concentration of .18 grams per deciliter of blood nearly two hours after the accident.

Additionally, the program intends to partner with organizations such as EATS PC, Big Brothers Big Sisters Utah and Basin Recreation to ensure students are engaged throughout the year. Klarich said the program is vital for students, particularly those with working parents. It gives them a safe place to spend time after school and allows them to continue learning long after the final Direct Importer of the World’s Finest Rugs A t t h e H i s t o r i c Vi l l a T h e a t r e group,” she said. “$50 gets you membership, and you can donate more, of course. It’s a nice get-together, and a nice kickoff. It’s not where the money is coming from, though, the big money.” Elliott said the Friends estimate they need $750,000 to do all the work they want to do, so she said the money they bring in from the picnic is “a drop in the bucket.” But at this early stage, she added, making connections -- adding more friends to the Friends -- is equally important. Cone concurred. “People tell people, too,” she said. “So there may be a big donor we don’t know about who has been in mining.” Cone, who ran the Park City Museum from 1988-1998, said preservation has always been a priority in Park City, and she’s glad to see the mining structures starting to get as much love and respect as the buildings in town. “It’s remarkable how many buildings we’ve saved in Park City,” she said. “A lot of towns say they have a historic district, but they have maybe five or six buildings. What we’ve done here is major.” Cone said cultural tourism -- the idea of visiting a place for its history as much as for its entertainment -- has grown in popularity over the years. She said she believes that is why Vail Resorts has been so enthusiastic about helping with the mining preservation effort. Park City Mountain Resort is unique for its mining history, she said, and it makes business sense to preserve that. “It’s an economic factor to save these buildings,” she said. “It’s not just nostalgia.” The Pick ‘n’ Shovel Picnic will be held at the Town Lift Plaza Wednesday, Aug. 31 from 5-7 p.m. For more information, visit www.ParkCityHistory.org/ friends-of-ski-mountain-mining-history. cident, according to Shawn Thomas, an agent with the Utah State Bureau of Investigation. Thomas said Miller admitted to drinking some Jim Beam whiskey and later driving. Emergency responders found a nearly empty bottle of Jim Beam in the center console of Miller’s vehicle. Thomas said when questioned, Miller’s responses were vague and “required a lot of thought.” He said a woman, identified as Miller’s girlfriend, was with him at the hospital. During cross-examination by Miller’s attorney, Pratt questioned Matthews about his training as a phlebotomist and the procedure he followed when drawing Miller’s blood. He also attempted to raise doubts about the expiration dates on the vials that were used to collect the samples. Members of Streit’s family attended and were often seen wiping away tears. When Miller made his first court appearance in April, they held up her picture throughout the hearing. Streit, who was 39 years old when she died, was known by friends for her work with the National Ability Center and Chrysalis working with adults with disabilities. bell of the school day has rung. “The parents want a safe, fun place for their students,” he said. “They want the homework done. They want the enrichment to incorporate STEM. It’s just a continuation of what they’re doing in school.” Lauren Beheshti, a lead coordinator for the program, said good after-school programs can help change the lives of students. She is hopeful that Park City’s offering will live up to that ideal, and she’s eager to be a part of it. “It’s been a whirlwind start, for sure, just because merging these two programs is such a new thing,” she said. “But it’s great. We all love working with kids, and we know this makes such a big positive impact in the lives of the kids.” For more information on the afterschool program, such as the cost or registration instructions, visit pcschools.us. Wed/Thurs/Fri, August 31-September 2, 2016 Videographer captures ‘Voices of Park City’ Series tells stories of those who shaped Park City through the years By Scott Iwasaki The Park Record What if your distant relatives living in the year 2112 could see and hear you talk about what it was like in August 2016. Local videographer Ralph Gates wants to make that possible. For the last decade, he has been video recording longtime Park City residents as they tell him their life stories. He calls the series “The Voices of Park City: Passionate People of Park City with Imagination, Initiative and Perseverance.” “These are essentially visual autobiographies,” Gates told The Park Record. “I have been trying recently to get the principal people who have come and made Park City what it is today.” To date, Gates has captured 50 or so of those movers and shakers including interviews done years ago with former mayor Dana Williams and Leadersship Park City founder Myles Rademan. “I have been trying to get members of the Town Council who had been here for awhile,” he said. “There are others who are here and getting old, and I want to catch who these unique people with these immigrant genes are and why they came to Park City.” But Gates isn’t just interested in high-profile Parkites. His goal is to get many more Park City-area citizens to tell their story. “It’s funny, because when I ask people if I can video their life story, they ask why and say, ‘I don’t have anything to talk about,’” Gates said. “So, I say, ‘What would you think if you could pull a DVD off the shelf and see your mother or your grandfather talking about their lives 50 years ago?’ and that’s when they usually agree to the interview.” Gates began doing these interviews in earnest in 2006. Continued from A-1 Fire burns bigger formation officer with the Uinta-CacheNational Forest. “The crew had been monitoring the fire for the past several weeks, but what happened on Thursday is it went outside the perimeters so we are gearing back up,” Fitzgerald said. The Forest Service has reestablished a fire camp alongside Oakley’s Town Hall, about 12 miles east of the fire activity. Approximately 55 firefighters have been dispatched to the area, Fitzgerald said, adding that several are from out of state. The fire has forced the following closures: Ledgefork campground, Smith and Morehouse boat ramp, Mud Lake Flats, as well as the Smith and Morehouse trail and Erickson Basin. On Sunday, the reservoir was closed to all watercraft while helitankers continued to douse the flames with water from the reservoir. Shoreline activities, such as fishing, were still being allowed. Tanzi Propst/Park Record Park City resident Ralph Gates is creating a DVD series called “The Voices of Park City,” which consists of local residents telling their life stories. He is donating the DVDs to the Park City Library. “My wife died 2004 and I didn’t do anything for two years, except sulk around,” he said. “Then I decided I needed to do something.” So, Gates revisited a project that he had dabbled with 15 years earlier. “When I first came to Park City in 1990s, I met Moose Smith, who was a retired Navy captain from World War II,” Gates said. “He was the first guy I met and we became good friends.” Smith introduced Gates to the Navy Captains Club in Salt Lake City. “This group was made of up men who were the rank of captain or higher during the Second World War,” Gates said. “Moose told me that they were meeting and had a guest that I would be interested in listening to. So, we went and he introduced me as Colonel Gates.” Gates began to talk with the captains and decided to interview them. “There were something like 25 members of the club and I recorded 21 of them who were in the War,” he said. “I thought it was fun to get their life stories, and they were wonderful life stories.” During those early days, Gates had Please see Voices, A-8 “We are not doing suppression on the full perimeter of it,” she said. “There are certain sides where we are taking suppression action, but most of it has burned up into the rock and smoldered out on its own. But certain parts are moving around still.” Four helitankers and five engines were helping crews suppress the blaze. Crews also installed sprinklers in the Ledgefork Campground, while a fire line is being maintained along the north end of the area. On Sunday, the Utah National Guard was activated and provided two Black Hawk helicopters to attack the fire from the air. “The fire is coming down both sides right now, about half a mile up from the (Ledgefork) campground, but the sprinklers are there as a preventative thing to keep it out of the campground,” Fitzgerald said. As of Monday, the Forest Service had yet to identify a person of interest responsible for causing the fire. The Heber-Kamas-Ranger has asked that anyone with information contact the district 435-654-0470. Fire crews were also dispatched to three other fires in the Uinta-Cache-National Forest over the weekend. For more information about the fire, go to http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4907/.
