Interment, Park City Cemetery. “We love you a bushel and a peck and a hug around the neck.” State legislator intends to file net neutrality bill in ’19 Rep. King says he wants to protect Utah consumers JAMES HOYT The Park Record LOOKING TO EXPAND YOUR BUSINESS? State Rep. Brian S. King (D-Salt Lake) is crafting legislation that would require internet service providers that do business with state and local agencies to adhere to the net neutrality guidelines that were in place before Federal Communications Commission Chairman Ajit Pai dismantled them last year. Proponents of net neutrality — which includes 80 percent of respondents in one national poll from 2017 — say Pai’s rules enable large ISPs to choke out smaller competition and will allow them to control how content is served up to internet users in the future. In response, providers have said they “have committed to no blocking, no throttling and no anticompetitive prioritization,” according to an emailed statement from the Utah Cable and Telecommunications Association. Park City is only serviced by Continued from A-1 Research teed up CONTACT THE SALES REPRESENTATIVES AT THE PARK RECORD TO LEARN HOW ONE OF OUR PRINT AND DIGITAL PACKAGES CAN GET YOUR BUSINESS NOTICED 435.649.9014 and the wind was picking up. “Some of the holes, it takes you back to when you were in your 20s competing, and then all of a sudden you’re like, ‘What am I doing, where is the ball,’ and it’s in your hand,” Brown said. “It’s an experience and an adventure and it’s very mental.” By a little after 3 p.m., Brown’s Fitbit had gone off twice, meaning she had already walked more than 28,000 steps. But it’s the demand for focus that makes or breaks a 100-holes round. Because some donors give by the birdie and by the eagle, Brown and her fellow golfers take their role as fundraisers very seriously — their scores actually matter, for the donors, and for someone with breast cancer. One sponsor pledged $100 for each birdie, and $1,000 per eagle. “We’re doing this to find a cure in our lifetime for everyone,” Brown said. “Because we all know people that have had breast cancer, we all know people that have died.” She and Tom Rogers had shot an eagle each by Hole 78 — Rogers hit one on the first hole, Brown on the 17th — and “a bunch of birdies.” With fewer than 30 holes left, Rogers was two strokes over for the day, while Brown was seven over. Which the two said was a pretty good day. Rogers summed up the situation, saying “Cynthia and I are raising a pile of money. That’s what it’s all about.” two residential broadband providers, both of them major players: Comcast (under its Xfinity brand) and CenturyLink. King, whose district stretches into Summit Park, says the proposal is meant to protect customers in places like this. “This bill is looking to limit or prevent the kind of abuse that happens or can happen in areas where providers with a monopoly, duopoly, or limited competition can ... increase their profits by manipulating the access consumers can get,” King, the House minority leader, said. “In that sense, this is a consumer protection bill.” Because FCC leadership is appointed by the sitting president, it’s possible that as soon as 2020, Pai’s rules could be rolled back as quickly as they came. The Utah Cable and Telecommunications Association says it supports federal legislation for more permanent internet regulations. In an emailed statement, CenturyLink spokesperson Linda M. Johnson said the company opposes state regulatory proposals like King’s because of the internet’s global nature and the provider’s concern over consistency in service. “Consumers and businesses require a seamless and predictable internet experience,” Johnson wrote. “Every email, application and video should not be subject to multiple state jurisdictions.” While large broadband providers have signaled their misgivings about King’s proposal, he says smaller players have voiced their approval. The representative is far from alone. Similar plans have been unveiled in states like Washington and California, while governors and mayors across the country have signaled their intent to reinstate the previous standard of net neutrality at the local level as the Trump administration’s reforms take effect. King said that he anticipates bipartisan support for Utah net neutrality legislation both on Capitol Hill and among the public, because he sees it as a regulation that would prove healthier for the internet service market in the long run. According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, of the 65 bills in 29 states introduced so far with similar net neutrality aims as King’s proposal, only one was sponsored by a Republican lawmaker. The rest have been pushed by Democrats. Only three states — Washington, Oregon and Vermont — have passed net neutrality through legislation. To go the distance, literally and figuratively, the crew had been gifted cart rentals for the day and free admission to the course. Janis Moore, treasurer of Playing for Life, decorated the carts for the event, as she does every year. This year’s carts were festooned with bows on the roof supports, bright pink tassels hanging down from the roof, and a pink feather boa along the back. A colorful blanket brassiere was slung over the front of each cart and stuffed to appear like a pair of breasts. The golfers played through with an intense focus, taking minimal practice swings before hitting their shots and jumping into the carts for a lift to the next hole — they weren’t rushing, but they weren’t relaxing, either. Their demeanor, combined with the pink decorations, gave the event the feel of a resolute bachelorette party. Brown said it was important for the golfers to pay attention to their bodies, so they were aware if one part of their body was tired and making their swings worse. “Be present, for just a second,” she advised. “That’s all it takes to make a golf swing, so whatever’s going on, you just suck it up, stay hydrated, get your protein, and pay attention.” Near the end of the day, things can get weird. There is often, Brown said, a sense of Deja vu, or confusion, brought on by the sheer repetitiveness of the event, which is exacerbated when approaching the final hole. “It’s a bizarre feeling,” she said. “You feel like this is Groundhog Day, 100 percent Groundhog Day.” Because of the nature of the 100 holes event — the matter of etiquette in passing golfers all day, the importance of respect for the course and for other golfers over so many holes — it is capped at four pros. However, the 100 Holes event is really just a kickoff, the first of three events benefiting cancer research through Playing for Life. On Aug. 1, the group will host the Swinging for Life — Greatest Race at Park City Golf Club, where a maximum of 80 four-person teams will literally race through 18 holes of golf. “It’s not about how good you are, it’s about how fast you are,” Brown said. “You’re going to play a par 4 in under a minute, so how many people would like to play golf like that? You play 18 holes in 18 minutes.” It is the exact opposite of normal golf, she said. The most important rule is that each team must travel as a unit — no one can pass the person who’s hitting the ball. So people line up behind the golfer, and as soon as that person hits, the team races to the next nearest ball. All pretense of skill, calm and seriousness go out the window as each team races to finish the course first — strokes be damned. “It’s constant running and clubs flying everywhere and balls going everywhere,” Brown said. There will be, according to Brown, margarita bikes that mix drinks as you pedal, a hole in one contest with a $25,000 prize, and a putting contest. But most importantly, “there’s no seriousness,” she said, adding that there will likely be people in costumes. That event, in turn, is followed by a gala at The Riverhorse on Main on Aug. 2, which will include dinner and live and silent auctions. Back on Pete Dye, Brown said the team will technically do 109 holes, to celebrate each year that the event has gone on. After finishing she noted that it would be some 350 days until she woke up with that feeling in her stomach that the marathon day was coming up again.
