Show TW Tatton Lastmg Company purpose. In another furnace, the bronze is melting. It takes about 35 minutes to heat it to the desired 2200 degrees. The bronze is then ponred into the ceramic shell to sit for about two hours. After the sculpture is set up, the ceramic shell is broken away from the statue, never to be used again. This makes every statue John does an actual original, because it is virtually impossible to recreate the exact sculpture in every identical detail. The sculpture is then sandblasted and specialized welding with a heliarc welder is needed. It is cleaned and shined, and sometimes retouched before it is ready for marketing. John spends alot off Ihours at the foundry, but he has an understanding and supporting family in Midway, his wife and two children, one boy and one girl, with another on the way just about any day now. It takes John one month, from start to finish, for just one sculpture, if he only concentrates on just that item. But he has alot going at one time. There are molds all over the place. John's work can be procured through him or his art broker in Salt Lake, who currently has around $7,000 worth of bronze from Tattons. John has made one item worth $4,500, the "Double Eagle. He has recently been commissioned to do a Red Tail Hawk for Alta High School, depicting their emblem. It is just a matter of time before Johns work becomes as well known as some of his counter parts. Exposure is all John needs, because his work is beautiful and it speaks for itself. : By Betty Larsen Impressive bronze sculptures of wildlife and mountain men, detailed so intricately they seem That is the Tatton Casting Companys product. In 1972, John Tatton started working with the renown artist, Clark Bronson, in the Bronson Studios in Woodland. John went to Bozeman, Mont, and spent another year and a half with Bronson when he relocated. Listless, and hoping to make more money in another profession, John attended school in Cedar City and became a licensed cosmetologist. He only pursued that avenue for a short time. It just didnt meet John's expectations. Never artistically inclined, John says it just comes naturally. John says he really can't draw, but faced with a mound of clay, the sculpting begins. life-lik- e. 1 - And so it went that the Tatton Casting Company came into being. Johns father, Mitchell, and brother Joseph are partners in the company also. The process is long and tedious before the beginning mound of clay starts the numerous steps it takes to become the finished product, a sculpture of bronze. John puts his three part compound a type of rubber mixture, is poured on foe clay. This mixture hardens to form the shape of the subject. A plaster of parts is put on the rubber mixture and a special hot wax is poured inside, The rubber is cut away and out comes the wax sculpture. A ceramic shell is left and that has to be dried for about a week. After, drying, it is burned out in a special firing process in a round furnace made solely for the Senior Citizen Monday, 23rd, was the day of our Thanksgiving dinner. It was a cold rainy day, but we had members arriving who we had not seen for a long time. The morning was spent in exchanging greetings and catching up on all events. We had 70 sit down to a feast of turkey, dressing mashed potatoes, gravy, sweet potatoes, hot rolls, celery and carrot sticks, cranberry sauce, fruit salad, and for dessert yummy fruit cake. We all ate too much, but that is traditional for a dinner. Many thanks to Gussie and June for preparing our dinner. Every bite Thanksgiving was delicious. t Members of Elmers Tunes, and their wives, came for dinner, and now are ready to entertain us. Mr. and Mrs. Harold Richards came from Salt Lake for dinner, and gave us a gift of new song books Wednesday was a good day for a and that is what the cooks came up with. Baked potatoes, green salad, beans, and rolls tasted fine with the apple sauce they served for dessert. There was no meeting Friday.

More warnings With song books and Elmers Warnings similar to Tunes, we had to have a song fest. Harold and Myri Franson lead us in singing our favorite songs. That put us in the right mood for the music of Elmers Tunes. They played many old time songs, and our many requests. Ray, Bob, Arnold and Elmer entertained us with solos.

As the 1981-8- 2 winter season closes in on the Wasatch Mountain Range, Park City ski area is putting the finishing touches on mountain and base area additions for the coming ski season. For the new ski season, Park e Gty will open, on a basis, McConkey's Bowl and Puma Bowl located near the Jupiter chairlift area. While both bowls are not directly serviced by a lift and require some hiking, they will offer extra powder and part-tim- spring skiing terrain for the advanced skiers. These bowls are opening with the anticipation of one or two new chairlifts being installed for the 1982-8- 3 season, making this years opening an exciting "sneak preview. On the mountain, Park Gty has cut a new expert run accessible from the Victoria Station chairlift. The new unnamed run parallels Park Citys popular Ladies GS run, then cuts under the Victoria Station chairlift, down the fall line and into the Sidewinder run. "Its a better run than the Men's of Ladies GS, said area manager, Phil Jones. Weve wanted to cut it for a long time, ever since the chairlift was built. Its an exciting run with a great fall line. The Payday chairlift located at the base of Park Citys mountain has been replaced with a new Yan triple chairlift. The change from a double chairlift to a triple will increase Park Citys uphill skier capacity per hour from 14,500 to 15,100. As a triple chairlift, Payday is capable of delivering 1,800 skiers per hour to the top of the Payday run. The new triple lift will be a real bonus for night skiing enthusiasts who ski the. 1 14 mile Payday run, the longest night skiing run in the Rockies. Park Gty has also expanded its snowmaking capacity to cover 250 acres of skiing terrain. The new snowmaking will cover Sunnyside run, Carbide Cut run, the Face of Prospector run and Parleys Park run. This expansion utilizes an airwater system. "Our other system, installed prior to this summer and utilized in' previous years, is an airless system. Although extremely effective, the machines are really too heavy and cumbersome to move from one legation, ,fo another," said Jones. With the newly installed airwater system, the guns are light, mobile units. Before, on the steep slopes, by the time we moved the heavier equipment, we did more damage than good making snow. Now were much more versatile. By having both systems, Park Gty can now make snow on steeper runs and at slightly more marginal . temperatures. When the tempera- tures are very cold, a large amount of snow can now be made because of the new system. Park Gtys marketing director Gaig Badami added, Park Gty still relies on Utah's great snow to cover the mountain; but with the addition of some snowmaking equipment, it is our intent to keep race hills, high traffic areas and other trouble spots in excellent skiing condition for every Park Gty customer. Along with the 30,000 feet of new snowmaking pipe installed this summer, a compressor house was also built for the snowmaking system behind and below the Snow Hut Restaurant located at fre-quen- ..w, ...
