At 30 North Main St., the theater sits next to Hi-Mountain Drug and under a retro white and red sign that spells out KAMAS in green letters. John Crandell, who is representing the ownership group, said the sale was prompted by the recent death of one of the owners. The 4,000-square-foot theater is for sale, as is the entire 6,000-square-foot build- ing, which currently has two other businesses as tenants. Crandell said that a couple of deals have fallen just short, including one for a “Brewvies”type establishment that would serve food and beer along with playing films, and one that would turn the building into two-story offices. The building was constructed after a 1942 fire destroyed the city’s first theater, which was a block to the north, according to a history on Summit County’s website. For his part, Crandell said he’d like to see it reverted to its original use. “It’d be nice for the town if it was back to a theater,” he said. Over the years, the venue has hosted weddings and concerts, and at one point a hypnotist regularly rented it for shows. The theater has 225-250 seats, Crandell said, as well as a 40-by-40-foot stage with a sizable dance floor below. “And it’s got popcorn,” Crandell said. The building sits in the city’s general commercial zone, which would allow for such uses as a church, bowling alley, restaurant, museum, athletic club or hotel. City planner Natalie Kautz said it would be up to the Utah Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to grant a license to serve alcohol, but she sees no reason it couldn’t. A restaurant on the premises called Sur that serves Latin American food is allowed to sell beer, she added. Crandell said the owners are asking $720,000 for the building, adding that it brings in revenue from its tenant businesses. R E A L E S TAT E I N S I G H T S . W H AT S H O U L D I D I S C L O S E T O P O T E N T I A L B U Y E R S ? A common question I get is what should I disclose to potential buyer when selling my house? The answer is EVERYTHING you can think of up front. Overdisclose. Leave no item out. The real estate purchase contract requires you to disclose all material facts. If you don’t, the buyers are going to find out anyways and you will be in breech. Additionally, the buyer will have the home inspected, which will reveal these issues, regardless. So the best recipe is transparency. M I C H A E L H AT Z G L O B A L R E A L E S TAT E A D V I S O R +1 4 3 5 9 0 1 - 0 7 2 1 w w w . M i c h a e l H a t z . R E A LT O R ©2019 Engel & Völkers.

Man, 20, arrested after alleged sexual encounter with girl, 12 Police say the man met the East Side victim in chat app ALEXANDER CRAMER The Park Record A 20-year-old Provo man was arrested after allegedly being discovered naked with a 12-year-old East Side Summit County girl he’d arranged to meet at her home for sexual intercourse, according to a probable cause affidavit filed in 3rd District Court. The man was arrested on suspicion of felony rape of a child, aggravated sexual abuse of a child, enticing a minor by internet or text and misdemeanor lewdness involving a child. As of Monday, he was being held at the Summit County Jail on $61,950 bail. The Park Record does not typically name people who are suspected of committing a crime unless they have been formally charged. The man met the girl on a social media site called Omegle that connects anonymous strangers via video or text chat, according to the probable cause affidavit. The girl told the man that she was 12 years old and he told her he was 20. She advised him to park down the road from her grandparents’ home to avoid being seen. The girl’s grandmother discovered the pair naked under blankets in the loft of a shed, the affidavit states. The affidavit indicates evidence was taken from cellphones and that the man and girl had talked about having a baby together. In addition to Omegle, the man used Instagram and Snapchat to communicate with the girl. Omegle bills itself as a way to talk to strangers online, and its website advises caution because predators have been known to use the site. It is not necessary to download the app to use the program on a cellphone, according to the website. According to the affidavit, the man told Summit County Sheriff’s Office deputies that he knew what he was doing was wrong, but proceeded to attempt to have sex with the girl anyway. The man and girl had made plans for future sexual encounters if the girl was not successfully impregnated as a result of the first encounter. The affidavit indicates they did not have sexual intercourse before being discovered. Sheriff’S report With the sun set to go down Wednesday, a cross-country skier from Salt Lake City was in some trouble in the Summit Park trail system. The 33-year-old had broken a ski and her dog was lost and possibly injured, according to a report from the Summit County Sheriff’s Office, which she called for help just after 4 p.m. Deputies used a drone to locate the lost skier and a deputy was able to snowshoe up to her and guide her back to the trailhead. She was uninjured. Her 12-year-old husky, however, was still lost in the mountains. But later that night around 11 p.m., deputies received a call that the dog had been found and reunited with the family. According to the Sheriff’s Office, law enforcement responded to several other calls between Monday, Jan. 20, and Sunday, Jan. 26, including several incidents of fraud involving gift card information being relayed over the phone and alcohol-fueled fights and violence. Sunday, Jan. 26 Deputies were dispatched after a person reported a man was attempting to access their Canyons Village apartment. The 29-yearold Los Angeles man was arrested after deputies located him at the 7-Eleven on Canyons Resort Drive, reporting that he smelled of alcohol and could not provide an address or location of where he was staying. He was booked into the Summit County Jail on suspicion of intoxication. Saturday, Jan. 25 A 76-year-old Hoytsville man died after collapsing at a Hoytsville home. Deputies indicated the death was not suspicious and that his physician signed the death certificate. Friday, Jan. 24 A 40-year-old man was cited and put to bed after his roommate called the Sheriff’s Office because the man was breaking items and damaging the walls in their Bear Hollow apartment. The man had returned home after drinking and was upset about the recent unexpected death of his friend. He admitted damaging the apartment but had not become violent toward people. He was checked by medical personnel and declined to be taken to the hospital for injuries to his hand. Two women stole eight Under Armour jackets from an Outlets Park City business worth a total of $2,000. Deputies indicated the case would be forwarded to the Investigations Division. Thursday, Jan. 23 Deputies assisted Rocky Mountain Power and the Park City Fire Department with a broken power pole and downed power lines between Rasmussen Road and the westbound Jeremy Ranch exit. A 42-year-old woman reported her landlord had grabbed her, kicked her and knocked her down after she turned up the thermostat of their Pinebrook home. The woman rents the basement apartment and turned up the heat because her daughter was cold. The 67-year-old landlord had a conflicting story and there was no physical evidence substantiating an assault had occurred. The woman refused additional assistance and stayed at the home. Deputies indicated the woman completed a lethality assessment and that the case would be referred to the Utah Division of Child and Family Services and Summit County Victim Advocates. Wednesday, Jan. 22 A 67-year-old Park City man was arrested on suspicion of intoxication after a man reported he had broken into his home. The arrestee had lived in the home until three days before and it was unclear whether he had the right to be on the premises. Deputies indicated trespassing charges were being screened with the Summit County Attorney’s Office. Tuesday, Jan. 21 A 15-year-old Park City boy was scammed out of $450 after giving Google Play gift cards to a person on Instagram who had told him it was a “binary trading” investment opportunity. After asking for his money back, the man blocked the boy on social media. The victim only had the fraudster’s Instagram name, and deputies indicated the case would be closed because of a lack of information about the suspect. A 25-year-old Ogden man provided $200 in gift cards to a stranger over the phone after that person told him he had warrants for his arrest out of Summit County. Deputies informed the man he did not have any outstanding warrants and that the original phone call was not from the Sheriff’s Office. Monday, Jan. 20 At a house party in Canyons Village around 2 a.m., a 32-year-old Park City man choked a 46-year-old Park City man during a physical fight and then threatened him with a large kitchen knife. The altercation initially was about a mutual friend who was intoxicated and had been vomiting in the bathroom for several hours. The 32-yearold man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and simple assault. An Oakley woman reported that someone who had her social security number and date of birth had initiated a fraudulent $650 PayPal transaction in her name. Deputies indicated they contacted the company but were unable to get any suspect information or leads. The report was made for informational purposes only due to the lack of information about the suspect. Deputies arrested two people at a Silver Creek residence for having active drug-related warrants. Deputies arrested a man after he answered the door at a Peoa home for an outstanding warrant for aggravated assault. 182 100 JODI, heart attack and stroke survivor.
