Gwenyth Bartmess, a student in Eason’s class, said she was amazed to hear the story from a high-ranking Shoshone leader. One of the things that stood out to her the most was that textbooks tend to tell only the victor’s story. Having the students listen to a new perspective was one of Eason’s goals for the presentation. “All the details added up to this big message to students, which was to see other people’s point of view, and to be kind,” she said. “And that’s a message I think everybody can benefit from.” Smith was glad the presentation broke down some of the stereotypes the students have of Native Americans. When they entered the classroom and saw Parry, many students were shocked. “When I walked in, I was looking around for some dude with long hair and a headdress on,” Bartmess said. “But then he looked super normal. He looked like a normal guy you would see in a grocery store.” Many of the students had never met anyone with Native American heritage, Continued from A-1 Marijuana talks needed For display advertising, please call a sales representative at 435–649– 9014 or email val@parkrecord.com To place a classified ad, please call 435–649–9014 or email classads@parkrecord.com For questions about your bill, please call 435–649–9014 or email accounts@parkrecord.com The Park Record online is available at www.parkrecord.com and contains all of the news and feature stories in the latest edition plus breaking news updates.

He added, “We won’t be able to determine where they got it from so what does that mean for us?” Under the compromise legislation, the Utah Department of Health is required to establish a state-run medical cannabis pharmacy before July 1, 2020. The Department of Health is scheduled to begin issuing medical cannabis cards on or before March 1, 2020. Individual health departments will be responsible for distributing the marijuana to patients Continued from A-1 Fur seller targeted coincide with the large holiday crowds on Main Street over the weekend. Minardi also said it is believed Alaska Fur Gallery is among the highest-selling fur stores in Utah. “Before New Year’s, the sale of fur is going to be going on,” he said. Minardi said animals that are killed for the fur industry endure horrid living conditions before they are killed. The slaughters are also carried out in terrible fashion, he said. “It’s just like a factory farm for meat,” Minardi said. He said fur appears to be making a fashion comeback. He said fur companies are attempting to convince customers lots of the articles of clothing are made with the pelts of animals like coyotes that have Smith said, so the presentation opened their minds to who Native Americans are. She said Parry was honest, but did not come across as victimized or angry, which is a big part of Parry’s message. Even though he touches on difficult topics, he likes to keep his presentation positive. “I’m not an angry Native American,” he said. “My message is one of forgiveness and how can we come together.” He visits schools and gives lectures throughout the state all year long, and is expected to give a presentation at the Park City Museum’s Education and Collection Center on Jan. 16 at 5 p.m. He said it will be a more “adult version” of the speech he gave at Ecker Hill Middle School. He enjoys teaching people about his culture, because he knows that most people do not have a lot of knowledge about the Shoshone. In fact, while in public school in Utah years ago, he was thrilled to hear that his class would be learning about the Shoshone. But, after a couple of days of lessons, he realized that none of what was taught matched what he had known growing up as a member of the Shoshone tribe. So, he has dedicated his life to telling people his story, and he is currently raising money for a cultural interpretive center to be built on the land where the Bear River Massacre took place. He said there are plenty of lessons that come out of learning about the massacre, but perhaps the most important is to forgive and look forward. “Bad things happen in your life, but how you respond to those things will determine who you are and who your character will be,” he said. in their communities in 2021. “This is unchartered water for everyone — law enforcement and prosecutors,” Martinez said. “I truly believe the conversation or the legalities of legal medical marijuana will change multiple times before it is go time. We are all just trying to figure this out. I’m glad we have been given some time to try and put all of these pieces together.” State lawmakers are expected to continue reviewing the compromise legislation before the law goes into effect, indicating it may be further tweaked in the coming legislative sessions. Martinez said it would be better to wait until the measure is finalized and any pending lawsuits are decided before he makes any definitive statements about how his office will be affected by the legalization of medical marijuana. “We need to understand how the compromise stacks up in the court of law first,” he said. “There are so many unknowns at this time and lawsuits challenging it that it is hard to really prepare for an end result that we just don’t know what that looks like yet. Until then, we will continue to monitor, evaluate and train on the latest and greatest laws that we are presented with.” been hunted, something that could reduce resistance to the products. He labeled the idea “humane washing.” “It’s like greenwashing (from) the perspective of animals,” Minardi said, referring to the concept of promoting environmentalism while continuing practices that degrade the planet. “They’re trying to make it look like it’s a nice thing.” He suggested alternatives like faux fur products made from synthetic materials. Minardi said the animal-rights movement is part of the evolution of social justice. He said people will look back at the fur industry and say “I can’t believe we used to do that.” Minardi said he hopes to stage demonstrations in Park City during busy times, such as during the Sundance Film Festival and later in the ski season. Summertime demonstrations could also be scheduled. The demonstration on Saturday was the latest in a string of similar gatherings along Main Street targeting fur-selling stores over the years. The events typically draw a small number of activists, such as the one on Saturday. Boy Scouts plan trip to a giant jamboree Summit County troop scheduled to attend summer gathering ANGELIQUE MCNAUGHTON The Park Record At 17, Lance Burrell considers himself among the oldest Boy Scouts from Summit County who will be going to the World Scout Jamboree in West Virginia over the summer. Burrell, along with 35 other scouts from Summit County, will be joining roughly 60,000 scouts between the ages of 14 and 17 from across the world. The World Scout Jamboree is scheduled to take place between July 22 and Aug. 2. The South Summit teen considers the opportunity to be a once-in-a-lifetime experience. “I hope to meet a lot of new people and experience a little bit more of a cultural change than what I have gotten to know in Utah,” he said. The World Scout Jamboree is a coed event that takes place every four years in different locations throughout the world. The last time the event was in the United States was in 1963, said Tal Adair, scout advisor. Adair, along with three other adults, will be responsible for taking the group from Summit County to West Virginia. “It really is an incredible opportunity,” he said. “The boys that go, they don’t come back the same. They come back as young men with a changed perspective. It’s a wonderful opportunity for these young men and that is why I wanted to step up and become involved.” Summit County’s Boy Scouts will join 8,000 other boys and girls from the United States to welcome the rest of the scouts when they arrive in West Virginia. For 12 days, the scouts will participate in high-adventure activities such as zip lining, mountain biking, water rafting and paddle boarding. Other cultural activities will also take place. “This is an opportunity that is really something different than any other Boy Scout camp,” Adair said. “They will get to rub elbows with people from Continued from A-1 Housing is a closet they get here and they get scammed,” she said. Seasonal housing in Park City has long been one of the business community’s challenges. Park City’s housing market, the most expensive in the state, makes it difficult for many rank-and-file workers to live locally. The employers must then offer wages that are enticing enough to attract commuters from the Heber City area and the Salt Lake Valley. Some of the largest employers may offer housing benefits or incentives, but medium and smaller businesses — the vast majority in Park City — typically do not offer such benefits. “I went out to my community of people and told the story, And each time I told the story, they said, whoever I was talking to, they said who are these kids working for and why aren’t their employers helping them,” she said. The comments from Ware Peek spurred a brief discussion by the other elected officials about housing, the dan- LIZY all over the world and from different cultures and backgrounds. It gives our young men an opportunity to get to know other parts of the world and how they function.” The Boy Scouts from Summit County have to raise $128,000 to go on the trip. That money will cover their flights, transportation, food and other trip expenses. About $66,000 has been raised so far through fundraising and donations. “We want to make sure the boys do the most they can before they go to mom and dad,” Adair said. “What’s been interesting is the boys have decided what they do and they are totally in charge of the activities. We are just their advisers and help them stay focused on their plan.” The scouts have helped clean up the University of Utah football stadium after games, held events at the High Star Ranch in Kamas, and performed odd jobs as ways of raising money. The group still needs to raise $62,000 by March 1. Burrell said the fundraising efforts will make the trip more meaningful to him. “Knowing that the two weeks that I am going to spend there, I worked for,” he said. “We put in the effort to get ourselves there and that is going to make the experience that much more fun because of the struggle that we had to get there.” Camden Rose, a 17-year-old scout from Park City, said he has appreciated the leadership experience that he has gained throughout the fundraising process. He is looking forward to that continuing on the trip. Since the event only takes place every four years, Rose emphasized that this is the only chance the scouts will have to attend. “I am hoping that, on my part, I will continue to be a good leader to my scouts,” he said. “I am hoping that they can grow more and become leaders themselves. I am looking for lots of fun and entertainment. I want these boys to grow and I really want them to succeed and have a great time.” People interested in providing donations for the trip can contact Adair at 801-201-3601 or send an email to summitworld2019@gmail.com. ger of housing scams and the broad ideal of the responsibility of providing housing. The elected officials at the recent meeting were not scheduled to discuss the topic in any depth. The City Councilors, though, indicated they want to address the topic again with a detailed discussion. It appears a future discussion could touch on City Hall’s own housing programs and any efforts that are made to guard against housing scams. Ware Peek acknowledged it is not City Hall’s responsibility to solve housing issues but questioned what steps businesses are taking. She also wondered how many seasonal workers are employed in Park City. Ware Peek also said City Hall’s programs address year-round housing issues rather than seasonal ones. “How many rooms can we guarantee are safe, sound, actually there, not a scam? What are we doing as a community?” Ware Peek also said. Another member of the City Council, Tim Henney, noted City Hall itself has developed housing for seasonal transit workers. He said the municipal government is “trying to show by leadership and set a good example for other employers.” He did not appear to support a broadened municipal role, though. “But I think this is a huge issue. And if we take it on it won’t be borne by the people who should actually be responsible for it, so we need to make sure that message is heard loud and clear,” Henney said.
