Several volunteers gathered at the new park, with its new paved parking lot and freshly planted 'grass, to put the finishing touches on the parks gazebo. The park has been dedicated to Ezra T. Gark, one of the first to settle the Farmington area. The gazebo itself has been dedi , cated to the Utah pioneers in honor of Utahs sesquiccntcnnial. David Barney, president of the Gark Lane Historical Society, said the small patch of land along 400 West was left barren for many years, all except for the Gark monument. It was pretty much an eyesore, Barney said. But three years ago citizens convinced the state to donate the land to the city, and the idea for a park was bom. Since then, the city, along with donations from local citizens and businesses, has made the park a reality. Many hours were spent by volunteers cleaning up the area, and planting trees.

FRUIT HEIGHTS - In anticipation of the general election in November, the two political parties here have chosen their slate of candidates for municipal offices. The Pine Cone Party has chosen veteran City Councilman Dan Phelps to run for mayor. Council candidates for the two seats which will be open are Carol Stewart and Neil Blackburn. On the Sagebrush Party docket, incumbent Mayor Richard Harvey has decided to run again. The two council seats are being sought by incumbent Dale Green and Diane Maynes, who has been active in U.S. 89 construction efforts. The two parties, which are set up only prior to municipal elections to field a list of candidates, held their party conventions simultaneously in separate rooms at the Fruit Heights City Hall recently. The city is unique in Davis County and most of Utah be cause it uses the party system to choose candidates rather than allow candidates to file independently and individually. Other communities hold primary elections for those seats where more than two candidates have filed.Phelps, 38, is a contractordevel-opespokesperson indi- r.
