YourParkCityAgent.com WHAT MY CLIENTS ARE SAYING “Sheila has a unique way of approaching real estate purchase that takes into account both the nuances of the neighborhoods and the lifestyle of the client. She is very informed and a delight to work with - I would definitely use her again.” -Zillow Submitted by Utah Division of Wildlife Resources Greg Sheehan, director of the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources (DWR), has provided exemplary leadership on wildlife issues in Utah and will soon serve as the new deputy director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Based on Sheehan’s successful track record and commitment to conservation, we’re confident the nation’s wildlife is in good hands. Sheehan is passionate about wildlife and working with the public on wildlife issues. He has built coalitions of regional and national peers, conservation organizations, local stakeholders and other partners to deliver groundbreaking results. He is an avid hunter, fisherman and wildlife photographer who has served as DWR’s director since 2012. “Greg is leaving Utah’s wildlife in outstanding shape — even better than when he started,” said Utah Department of Natural Resources (DNR) Executive Director Mike Styler. “I’ve been so impressed with the way he builds partnerships and public support to Continued from B-1 SH E I L A HA L L branch broker Joining forces 435.640.7162 | sheila@sheilahall.com 1700 Park Avenue | Park City, Utah 84060 © 2016 BHH Affiliates, LLC.

Wed/Thurs/Fri, June 7-9, 2017 in the room and feel the energy and excitement of that group,” Hunt said. Hunt added that everyone in the room also has an understanding of the vision the new club is aiming for. “I had a feeling that everybody in the room knew what was going on,” he continued. The idea of forming one consolidated group is to eliminate competition among local groups, and instead, work together. “Each club had a niche of what it did very well,” Marc Norman, Vice President of the Utah Olympic Legacy Foundation, said. “That’s why there were four or five clubs. Bringing them all together allows us to take the best of each. To me, that’s a big gain. We can take what the Park City Ski Team did really well and blend it with what the Summit Ski Team did really well. We should have a much better product at the end of the day.” Hilton shared a similar sentiment. “Some of the biggest issues are redundancy of having five executive directors, five bookkeepers, five websites,” Hilton continued. “There’s a lot of redundant administrative services.” By working together, the new club feels winter sports in the area will be enhanced, es- Continued from B-3 Triathlon season sweet and a great beginning for kids who have never done one.” Whether it’s the Tiny Tri or the East Canyon Triathlon, both are encouraging those benefit wildlife.” Sheehan earned his undergraduate degree at Utah State University and later received an MBA. His passion for wildlife — and his years of wildlife agency leadership — have given him a deep understanding of the issues and complexities involved in wildlife management. Over the course of his 25year career in natural resources, Sheehan has played a pivotal role in many remarkable accomplishments: ● Restoring many of Utah’s fish and wildlife species to levels not seen in more than 125 years ● Increasing Utah’s mule deer population by more than 100,000 animals within the past four years ● Improving and restoring more than 1.3 million acres of wildlife habitat as part of Utah’s Watershed Restoration Initiative ● Working to conserve greater sage grouse, so a listing under the Endangered Species Act was unnecessary ● Launching a new migration initiative that uses cuttingedge technology to better understand and manage wildlife populations ● Creating the Utah Cutthroat Slam, a program to generate conservation funding for Utah’s four native trout species ● Cultivating the public’s passion for wildlife and conservation through expanded youth hunting and fishing days, annual pheasant releases and other hands-on wildlife events ● Serving in leadership positions in multiple national wildlife organizations “As he heads to Washington, D.C., Greg’s experience and enthusiasm will serve him well. He is a trusted public servant and has been a lifelong advocate for wildlife conservation,” Styler said. “He has resolved complex wildlife issues by helping diverse interests find common ground. He is a true leader and his work ethic and dedication to wildlife are an example for his peers nationwide.” “It has been an honor to serve as Utah’s wildlife director and to work with such dedicated, hard-working professionals,” Sheehan said. “We’ve made great strides in wildlife research and management that will have far-reaching benefits for many species and the people who care about them.” Although we are sad to see him leave, we look forward to working with Sheehan in his new position and are excited to see others recognize his extraordinary qualifications. We wish him well and look forward to seeing his consensus-building, common-sense solutions applied to national wildlife issues. DWR Deputy Director Mike Fowlks will serve as interim director until a permanent hiring decision is made. pecially for the younger kids. At a young age, many are curious about different sports, dipping their toes in the waters of each respective sport. In the past, this would have been difficult, as the area boasts a number of winter sports clubs that require different fees, uniforms and time commitments. By joining forces, Hunt and company hope to eliminate the issue. “It’s a little more applicable to [younger-aged kids] because at that point, it is sampling,” Hunt said. They’re not moving up the scope in their skill development. They’re just trying to figure out where they fit, what they like to do. That’s really where the multisport sampling is important and where we see it fitting in the scheme of things.” In the new program, kids will be able to cross over. One could go from Alpine to Nordic to Snowboarding without issue. With all of the coaches working under the same umbrella, the transition to another discipline, the integration team believes, would be much easier. “All these kids in town know each other,” Pat Quigley of Team Park City United said. “They all go to the same school. So now, they can try different disciplines and still be on the same team and still be hanging out with the same kids. They won’t have to quit to join a new program, go to a different building, get a different uniform, hang out with other kids that they may or may not know.” According to the new club’s press release sent out on Monday afternoon, the local resorts and programs are in support of the collaboration. “Park City Mountain sup- ports the one club concept being considered by the various teams within Park City,” said Bill Rock, senior vice president and chief operating officer at Vail Resorts. “The efficiency of scheduling and coordinating training while providing exceptional experiences for the youth in our community will be big advantages. We are committed to providing ‘official club status’ to the new effort which would mean priority scheduling and we would require visiting clubs to coordinate their training through the new club.” Bob Wheaton, Deer Valley Resort General Manager, shared the same sentiment as Rock. “The Deer Valley team fully supports the forward-thinking collaboration,” Wheaton said. “As always, we are proud to play an integral role in the futures of Park City’s youth and provide a world-class platform for them to consistently perform at their best.” Aimee Preston, Youth Sports Alliance’s executive director, believes the new collaboration will aid in the Alliance’s effort to provide youth scholarships. “Each year the Youth Sports Alliance looks forward to providing need-based scholarships for local youth to participate in sports and after school activities,” Preston said. “We embrace this collaborative initiative because it will provide more access for local youth to pursue active and healthy lifestyles, in addition to, providing a strong sports club program for kids to follow their dreams.” An Open House will be held at Utah Olympic Park on June 21 at 7 p.m. to relay more information for those who may have questions or concerns. who have never participated in such an event to do so this season. In fact, TriUtah is offering a new program called Try-A-Tri. In this new initiative, if one hasn’t competed in a TriUtah race in the last three years, the organization will cut the racing price to $50. This offer also extends to triathlon beginners. Aamodt said this offer has been a hit early on. “I’ve probably given out roughly 100 codes for registration at that price,” Aamodt said. “[We want to] encourage people to try and participate in a triathlon, either as an individual or as a relay. We’re focusing on that.” Other triathlons that TriUtah plans to host in the area this season will be the Echo Triathlon (July 8) and the Jordanelle Triatholon (August 12). The group will also host a championship triathlon race, The Brineman Triathlon, on Sept. 16. For information on any of TriUtah’s races this season, visit triutah.com for more information. The East Canyon Triathlon is scheduled to start at 8 a.m, while the Tiny Tri will begin at 9 a.m. |
