TRY A CHERRY IN THE RYE, THE SUMMER’S COCKTAIL TOM CLYDE WONDERS WHAT THE HECK IS A ‘CONVENER’ The PA R K C I T Y, U TA H Girl ordered ecstasy and another synthetic, the charges claim CAROLYN WEBBER ALDER The Park Record A 17-year-old Park City girl prosecutors say was involved in procuring the drugs that killed two 13-year-old boys in 2016 has been charged with ordering illegal drugs online during the last two months. According to charging documents filed in 3rd District Juvenile Court on July 20, the teen ordered ecstasy and a drug called 2C-B from overseas via the dark web on three separate occasions during June and July. Prosecutors also say that, in 2016, she agreed to have a shipment of U-44770, a synthetic opioid commonly called pink, delivered to her home at the request of two other individuals. The 13-year-old boys, Ryan Ainsworth and Grant Seaver, overdosed on the U-44770 two days apart in September of 2016 in a tragedy that shook the community and spurred broad efforts to confront the youth drug problem in Park City. The teen is charged with four second-degree felony counts of distributing a controlled substance. One of the counts stems from the incident in 2016. The Park Record is not disclosing the teen’s name because she is a minor. The charges were filed the same day Summit County Attorney Margaret Olson issued a community alert warning parents that one of the teens who helped procure the U-44770 that killed the boys in 2016 was involved in ordering more substances from the dark web in recent weeks. Parents were told to look out for suspicious packages since it was not known whether drug shipments had been distributed in the area. According to charging documents, U.S. Customs and Border Protection intercepted two packages shipped from overseas and addressed to the teen at a Park City address on June 18 and June 21. Together, the packages contained 14 grams of ecstasy. On July 11, the U.S Postal Inspection Service intercepted another package addressed to the teen at the same address and containing 2C-B, according to court documents. An individual at the address where the drugs were shipped told law enforcement that the teen girl had asked him if she could have e-cigarette refills sent to his house, charging documents state. A meeting was arranged for her to pick up the packages, and law enforcement arrested her. The teen admitted to ordering the drugs on the dark web using Bitcoin, according to court documents. She claimed that friends had asked her to order the drugs. She told officers that she learned how to purchase substances off the dark web from the teens who purchased the U-44770 in 2016.

PARK RECORD FILE PHOTO Rob Thomas plays the didjeridu during the Park City Kimball Arts Festival in 2016. The annual summertime festival returns to Main Street for its 49th year over the weekend, featuring artist booths, dining options and entertainment. It is the Kimball Art Center’s largest fundraiser of the year. Park City opts to ask voters I-80 shutdown to pass a $48 million bond drove drivers Nearly all the funds would be mad in county put toward deal for hillside Treasure acreage JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Park City leaders on Thursday signaled they would ask voters in November to approve a $48 million ballot measure with intentions to put nearly all the funds toward an acquisition of the Treasure land for conservation purposes if the measure passes, essentially ending months of financial maneuvering as officials attempted to reduce the figure that will be on the ballot. The Park City Council decision on the dollar figure was critical, and Parkites of various political stripes had been awaiting a final number. The recent addition of an unrelated conservation deal involving acreage in Thaynes Canyon further complicated the discussions. The $48 million would fund most of the cost of the $64 million deal for Treasure as well as up to $3 million of the $6 million price tag Utah Open Lands negotiated to set aside from development land called Snow Ranch Pastures in Thaynes Canyon through a tool known as a conservation easement. The elected officials considered a series of figures in the months after the $64 million agreement for Treasure was reached. At one point there was a range of between $50 million and $55 million followed by a focus on $50.7 million. City Hall staffers earlier in the week outlined $2.7 million in reductions or other funding sources, dropping the number to the $48 million the City Council agreed to pursue from voters. A City Council straw poll was 4-1 with Lynn Ware Peek dissenting. Peek said her resistance was based on a desire to represent Park City people who have indicated they did not want the Snow Ranch Pastures deal combined with Treasure on the ballot, describing that Treasure was the goal of the efforts. Other elected officials expressed at least some level of concern in combining the two but wanted to move forward with a ballot measure involving both of the lands. City Councilor Tim Henney mentioned it is more difficult to ex- The first evening of a shutdown of Interstate 80 caused more than just the expected construction-related headaches as drivers looked for alternative routes through several neighborhoods in the Snyderville Basin, choking neighborhood entrances.

B-2 Vol. 138 | No. 52 JAY HAMBURGER/PARK RECORD Many Park City Kimball Arts Festival visitors may see a new building at the intersection of Main Street and Heber Avenue for the first time over the weekend. The Kimball Art Center, the festival organizer, once was located in a historic building that is under renovation as part of the overall project. People attending the Park City Kimball Arts Festival over the weekend will see numerous artworks for the first time as they peruse the booths. Many will see something much larger for the first time as well. The crews involved in a major redevelopment of a property at the Main Street-Heber Avenue intersection, the former location of festival organizer Kimball Art Center, recently unwrapped the new building. It is an expansion of the historic building that once housed the Kimball Art Center itself and occupies the space where a patio once was located. It is one of the most significant developments along Main Street of the past VISITOR GUIDE Philanthropy comes with coffee at Newcomers Club 20 years given the high-profile location, the involvement of a historic building and the hotly contested decisions that were made leading to the project. The work has been ongoing in the historic building as well as on the expansion, but the revealing of the new section after it had been wrapped for protection provides people along Main Street an opportunity to dwell on the addition to the streetscape. The building stands at a crucial corner along Main Street, a location that in some ways is seen as one of Park City’s most important intersections since Parkites regularly drive by and visitors will likely be at the location at some point during their stay in the community. The developer, under the corporate umbrella of a California firm called Columbus Pacific Properties, devised a commercial project after City Hall resistance to one involving residences and commercial space.
