ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record When Bountiful teenager Walker Gentry began exploring ideas for a service project to earn his Eagle Scout award, a family friend suggested he consider selecting a project to benefit children in Summit County. Gentry, who is 17 years old and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, said a member of his ward knew local Detective Christina Sally, of the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Sally is the lead investigator with the Summit County Children’s Justice Center and creator of the Camp Safety program. “I decided that this was the project I wanted to do because I felt like it was a good cause to help out with,” Gentry said. With the help of several church members and his scout troop, Gentry collected stuffed animals, toys, books and fleece blankets to donate to the Justice Center, one of 22 centers across the state that provide child-focused programs in a safe setting for child abuse vic- ( Not valid with any other Promotions.

Gentry also constructed a new puppet stand for the Camp Safety program, which is a weeklong program that promotes safety awareness, antibullying, and bicycle and fire safety. The camp includes puppet shows and other engaging activities. “It’s phenomenal because we do have so many kids that come through our center and these donations are tremendous for the children and the families,” Sally said. “It’s not so much about giving them some- Prospector Square 2093 Sidewinder Dr www.grubsteakrestaurant.com grubsteak@xmission.com Reservations gladly accepted thing, it’s about comfort. “The puppet stand is also huge because it will help us engage the children during the camp,” Sally said. On Monday, Gentry dropped off the items and puppet stand to the Justice Center. He said he still needs to complete his paperwork and board review before he officially earns his Eagle Scout award. “This is a thing that a lot of people struggle with and it makes me feel better knowing that I was able to help out these kids and make their lives easier,” Gentry said. Transient sneaks into library Employees believe he props doors open at night The Park Record Employees at the Kimball Junction branch of the Summit County Library believe a homeless man has been sleeping inside the building for several months, according to the Summit County Sheriff’s Office. Last week, employees contacted dispatch after they found a downstairs door propped open and a gallon of juice nearby, the report states. The Kimball Junction branch of the library is located inside the Sheldon Richins Building on Ute Blvd., along with the DMV and the Summit County Children’s Justice Center. The Kimball Junction Transit Center is also located in the same parking lot. According to the report, employees think the man has been using various items to prop the doors open to enter the building after-hours for the last several months. The library is open Monday through Thursday from 10 a.m. until 8 p.m. and Friday through Saturday from 10 a.m. until 6 p.m. It is closed on Sundays. Lt. Andrew Wright said the suspect has been identified as a transient, middle-aged man known to frequent the area. Wright said deputies have not yet made contact with the man. “Normally, our course of action when we make contact with a transient person is to figure out what their ultimate goal is and determine what their needs are,” he said. Wright highlighted the Chris- tian Center of Park City as one of the go-to organizations the Sheriff’s Office contacts in similar situations. “We do rely on organizations within the community who have stepped forward to help out someone in need,” Wright said. “The last thing we want to do as a Sheriff’s Office is tell someone they are unwelcome, but then not provide any kind of resource. That doesn’t accomplish anything.” While the Sheriff’s Office has dedicated office space inside the transit center, Wright said patrols will likely increase in the area. Last month, someone shattered a glass door and caused damage to an inside wall of the transit center. “We had the break-in and now this,” Wright said. “Since it is a government building we will be taking the appropriate measures to ensure everything is secured.” MOTORIZATION | DESIGNER DRAPERIES | At around 8:42 a.m., a hot air balloon was attempting to land behind a building located on Rasmussen Road when it struck the power line, a report states.
