Councilors spent about 30 minutes discussing the matter before making a decision. Putt told Councilors the new application essentially represented the same project that had already been presented to the county and was ultimately denied. “Both plans included lodging, a restaurant and fitness and yoga facilities,” Putt said during the meeting. “Even the parking associated with the project is in the same location. Based on those facts, I made the determination that it was substantially the same project that was part of the Romney stumps in Kamas The Park Record Republican Senate candidate Mitt Romney said on Tuesday the children of immigrants should not be removed from their parents in most instances, describing the situation along the U.S.-Mexican border as “heartbreaking.” Romney appeared at a campaign event in the city park in Kamas, drawing a modest crowd and addressing a range of issues in his comments and in response to audience questions. He touched on the topic of the immigrant children as he spoke to the crowd and elaborated in an interview. “The compassionate approach and the, if you will, the approach that shows that we are a shining city on a hill, is to make sure that we don’t separate children from parents unless that’s absolutely necessary. It should not be done as a matter of course, which apparently is what’s happening now. And this is just heartbreaking,” Romney said in an interview. He said there is an “immediate need” to return to an earlier policy of not separating children from their parents in most circumstances. His comments came a day before President Trump, reacting to bipartisan criticism of the seperations, signed an executive order aimed at halting the practice. “Let’s go back to (a) point where we’re not sep- The Park Record 3 sections • 42 pages Business ...............................

Park City leaders and the not-forprofit Utah Open Lands continue to discuss a management plan for the 1,350 acres of high-altitude land in Wasatch County as well as a document known as a conservation easement that will outline the restrictions on the acreage. Policies regulating dogs on the land are under discussion as part of the overall talks. Mayor Andy Beerman and the Park City Council on Thursday continued the discussions and are expected to finalize the management plan and conservation easement in coming months. Bonanza Flat is seen as Park City’s most complex parcel of open space based partially on the vast number of acres, the location at the top of the watershed and the jurisdictional lines, and the talks have likewise been complicated. Wendy Fisher, the executive director of Utah Open Lands, described in an interview a recommendation to build two trails that will be designated as open to dogs. Dogs would otherwise be prohibited on the land, she said. Fisher said the routes of the two trails have not been designed. The parties involved in the talks have not made a recommendation regarding whether the two trails should be designated as off-leash areas. She noted, though, Wasatch County laws regarding the matter would be in effect rather than those in Park City. She said the restrictions on dogs are needed to protect the watershed, rare plants and wildlife. A lake in Bonanza Flat provides culinary water for the Camp Cloud Rim Girl Scouts camp and Bonanza Flat is a source of culinary water for Midway, Fisher said.

At a May ceremony in Shanghai, siblings Dennis Hanlon, Deborah Hanlon and Diane Hanlon Ealy officially opened a permanent exhibition at the prestigious Fudan University featuring the prints that once belonged to their late father, George It is the history behind them, it is the journey that they took that made this particular set of prints unique,” Max Tang Chinese art expert Hanlon. The exhibit, titled “A Journey Across Time and Space,” occupies a section in the university’s library system named after George. At first, Dennis Hanlon, a Park City real estate agent, was intimidated by the scale of the event, though everything went smoothly after their arrival. “We pull up and we just see rows and rows and rows of chairs with everyone’s names on it,” Dennis said. “It was like, ‘Oh my god, this is the way this is going to be, this is going to be tough.’” The interactive exhibit, accompanied by a documentary filmed partially in Park City, includes the prints, a copy of George Hanlon’s book, titled “The China Walk,” about his experience that led to him possessing the prints, and detailed breakdowns about every step of the Hanlon patriarch’s trip through enemy territory during WWII. The artwork’s return home is the conclusion to a story spanning decades. In 1944, Lt. Col. George Hanlon, the copilot of an Army Air Corps B-29 bomber based in India, found himself stranded, along with six members of his crew, in rural China after a bombing raid over Japan went wrong. Mao Zedong, then the commander of Chinese Communist forces at war with the occupying Japanese and an ally of the U.S., heard of the Americans’ plight and ordered a rescue. After journeying hundreds of miles behind enemy lines, through the rugged terrain of Manchuria, the bomber’s crew reached Yan’an, Mao’s headquarters. The future chairman of China’s Communist Party gifted them a set of contemporary woodblock prints depicting China’s struggle against the Imperial Japanese invaders, which had begun in 1937 — four years before the at- tack on Pearl Harbor – and claimed . The story of George Hanlon’s trek hasn’t been forgotten. One of the most memorable interactions Dennis Hanlon recalled was when a man showed him a copy of a children’s English workbook for use in Chinese schools that featured his father. “This one chapter starts, ‘The seven airmen begin their 1,500-mile journey across China,” Dennis said. Max Tang, an expert on contemporary Chinese art and a professor at the University of Michigan who helped facilitate the transfer, said that while the woodblock prints ar- en’t themselves unique (by their very nature, the prints are mass-produced), their decades-long trip around the world and what that trip symbolizes gives them the cultural and academic value displayed in the exhibit. “It is the history behind them, it is the journey that they took that made this particular set of prints unique,” Tang said. “It’s not simply about Lt. Col. George Hanlon, it’s not simply about this group of American servicemen and their experience, it’s Please see A gift, A-8 COURTESY OF DENNIS HANLON Diane Hanlon Ealy, left, and Dennis Hanlon attend the opening of an exhibit at Fudan University in Shanghai on May 23.
