Show A-10 Sat/Sun/Mon/Tues, December 7-10, 2019 The Park Record Obituary Steven Lynn Hamilton October 14, 1950 – November 27, 2019 KIDS Steven was born on October 14, 1950 to Ivy and Rodney Hamilton in Tooele. He passed away peacefully on Nov. 27, 2019, after a short battle with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. Husband, father, grandfather, brother, uncle and friend, Steve was loved by many and will be greatly missed. After graduating from Tooele High School, Steve attended the University of Utah and was awarded a BSc. in Pharmacy. He affiliated with Sigma Chi fraternity and made many friends. He then earned an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Business. Early on in his career, Steve worked for Eli Lilly, Hoffman-La Roche, and Baxter International. At Roche Labs, he was proud of co-introducing Rocephin into the international marketplace. Following his time at Baxter, Steve headed up several small innovative biotech companies. For the last 14 years, he very much Steven Lynn Hamilton enjoyed his role as Pharmacy Manager at The Market Pharmacy in Park City. He cared deeply about his customers and forged many lasting friendships. Steve was a voracious reader, and as a result, he had a wide range of knowledge and interests. He also adored animals. He was an avid University of Utah sports fan, but was only slightly torn when the U. lost to Northwestern in the 2018 Holiday Bowl. Everyone who loved Steve will miss his warmth, humor, and kindness. He found joy in small things — like hummingbirds and kittens — and delighted in a good discussion about history, books, movies, or politics. Every chat had at least a couple of memorable puns! In December 1999, Steve married Jane, the love of his life. He is also survived by his beloved children: Gregory, Amy (Michael), Anna (Jon), Joseph, Emily, Philippa (Johan), and Matthew. In addition, he leaves behind his much-loved grandchildren: Sarah, Kate, Nolan, Michael, Hugo, and Lucy. A funeral service to honor and remember Steve’s life will be held at Larkin Sunset Lawn, 2350 E. 1300 S. in Salt Lake City, on Thursday, Dec. 12 at 11 a.m. Before the service, there will be a viewing from 9:30 – 10:30 a.m. There will also be a viewing on the evening of Dec. 11 from 6 – 8 p.m. at the mortuary.

The Kimball seeks changes to annual Main Street event JAY HAMBURGER The Park Record Park City officials and the leadership of the Kimball Art Center on Thursday discussed the idea of turning the annual arts festival on Main Street into a free event, but details need to be weighed in coming DISCOVER PARK CITY’S EARLY YEARS Look for The Way We Were in every Wednesday edition of The Park Record months before Park City Council endorses the plan. Mayor Andy Beerman and the City Council addressed the issue but were not scheduled to make decisions. The Kimball Art Center wants to drop the $15 entry and increase the number of artist booths in an effort to recoup some of the revenues lost by eliminating the admission charge. The increase in the number of booths would require a larger footprint for the festival, though. The Kimball Art Center wants to extend the artist booths on 9th Street in the direction of Deer Valley Drive. It appears City Hall staffers will return to the elected officials in midwinter for more talks. The event is in the sum- mer, giving the sides time to reach an agreement. Jory Macomber, the executive director of the Kimball Art Center, was one of the members of leadership to address the elected officials on Thursday, saying arts festivals that are free to attend have a “better vibe.” The events are “that much more magical” when they are free, he said. A Kimball Art Center letter to City Hall prior to the meeting indicated the $15 admission charge is prohibitive to some people who want to attend and a frustration with others. The letter also said there are many businesses on Main Street that do not support the admission charge. There has been long-running concern among some businesses that sales drop during the arts festival as people browse the artist booths rather than enter the stores even though the businesses are just steps away from the booths. City Councilor Lynn Ware Peek said the plans will reduce conflicts with Main Street businesses while Nann Worel, another city councilor, said dropping the admission charge could lead to a more diverse crowd. Alison Kuhlow, the executive director of the Historic Park City Alliance, told the elected officials the arts festival is the only special event on Main Street that charges for admission. If the event was free, she said, festival-goers would have more money to spend at Main Street businesses. She said dropping the admission charge would lead to a “more inclusive” event. The arts festival is one of the top events on the calendar in Park City, drawing large crowds for a weekend. The attendance in 2019 was calculated at more than 50,000. City Hall and the Kimball Art Center, though, disagree on the impact on attendance dropping the admission charge could have. The organizers say the attendance could rise modestly, perhaps by 10 percent, while City Hall staffers forecast the possibility of a much higher jump, possibly by 60 percent. The municipal government says it would need to address services should the numbers increase by that much as a result of the event becoming free. A range of City Hall departments are involved, such as the police, transit, transportation planning and building.
