Show A-6 The Park Record Wed/Thurs/Fri, December 11-13, 2019 Obituary Steven Lynn Hamilton October 14, 1950 – November 27, 2019 VOTED PARK CITY’S BEST STEAK HOUSE 6 YEARS IN A ROW! Steven was born on Oct.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 en- joyed 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.

Lawsuit could give license to resettle bears in Lower 48 MATTHEW BROWN Associated Press BILLINGS, Mont. — U.S. officials will review whether grizzly bears have enough protections across the Lower 48 states after advocates sued the government in a bid to restore the fearsome animals to more areas, according to court documents filed Monday. The review must be completed by March 31, 2021, under a settlement approved by U.S. District Judge Dana Christensen. Grizzly bears are protected as a threatened species outside Alaska. An estimated 1,900 bears live in portions of Wyoming, Montana, Idaho and Washington state. Tens of thousands of grizzlies once roamed across much of western North America before hunting and trapping killed most of them off by the early 1900s. Federal wildlife officials said in 2011 that additional areas should be considered for grizzly bear recovery, but that work has never been completed. The Center for Biological Diversity said in a June lawsuit that officials should consider restoring grizzlies to areas of California, Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, Utah, Nevada and Oregon. “There are a lot of places where grizzly bears used to live where we believe they could currently live,” said Andrea Santarsiere, an attorney for the group. The agreement to review the grizzly bear’s status does not fully resolve the June lawsuit, which also seeks an update to the government’s recovery plan for grizzlies. Environmentalists successfully sued last year to block grizzly hunts planned in Wyoming and Idaho. The hunts were scheduled after the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service determined about 700 grizzlies in and around Yellowstone National Park no longer needed federal protection. Christensen disagreed and ordered protections restored. Typo causes colossal budget mistake 840 Main Street, Park City 435.655.9739 • primeparkcity.com Wasatch County overvalued a home at $1 billion ASSOCIATED PRESS SALT LAKE CITY – Utah officials say a possible dropped phone resulted in a typo that overvalued a home for almost $1 billion. And taxpayers may have to pay for the mistake. The Deseret News reports a house built in 1978 in an unincorporated area of the county was recorded in 2019 tax rolls with a value of more than $987 million. That’s an overestimate of about $543 million in taxable value. Wasatch County Assessor Maureen “Buff” Griffiths told officials last month a staff member may have dropped a phone on a keyboard. Griffiths said the accident has resulted in a countywide overvaluation of more than $6 million. Griffiths added that the blunder also produced revenue shortfalls in five taxing entities. Wasatch County officials say residents will likely see an increased tax rate over the next three years to make up for the lower amount collected in 2019.
