The organization, which formed in 1995 as a way for local residents to gather and enjoy activities together, will meet at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 9, at the Park City Library pa- T R E L L I S SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record tio, said club president Carol Haselton. The gathering will also observe all COVID-19 protocols including wearing masks, she said. “People can also purchase food and drinks at Lucky One’s Coffee, or they can bring their own lunch,” Haselton said. The idea for Wednesday’s event is to socialize in one group before the summer ends, according to Haselton. “We did have a coffee planned in July, but the board voted to cancel it because of COVID,” she said. “We haven’t had a coffee since because we usually hold it at Park City Community Church, and the church hasn’t been open because of the pandemic.” Wednesday’s gathering will also serve as a place where members can renew their memberships, she said. “Some members have already done that,” she said. “We really appreciate them, because they did that even though they knew we weren’t going to be able to offer many activities this year.” Non-members who are interested in Newcomers activities are also welcome to attend, according to Haselton. “We will have membership forms and information of what the club is about available at the coffee,” she said. “We will also have a list of activities that we will offer in September and the rest of the year.” Continued from B-1 Author returns virtually SUMMER SALE know about the abuse, they don’t know how important it was for me to have this safe place that I didn’t have when I was a child.” During the rewrites, Houston also started paying more attention to climate change. “I knew I couldn’t write about my piece of paradise on the mountain and ignore this catastrophe we’re knee deep in already,” she said. Houston decided to use her ranch as the connecting point to address her childhood and global warming, and that’s when she felt the manuscript became the book she wanted to write. “I realized my approach to NEW MARKDOWNS COURTESY OF ARABY LEARY Newcomers Club of Greater Park City members enjoy an outdoor activity before COVID-19. The club, which hasn’t met as a group since March, will host a coffee social on Wednesday at the Park City Library patio. Newcomers Club members participate in activities ranging from fine dining to mountain bike rides and playing canasta, Haselton said. “We do have activities planned through September, and we also have two activities on Zoom — a monthly book club and our bi-monthly writers circle,” she said. “In the winter we will plan a skiing group and we’re also hoping to do a cross-country ski and snowshoe group.” In addition, Haselton put out a call for a club member to lead a walking group. “Newcomers is a way to keep connected, and I think we’re all a little frustrated,” she said. “I run in to club members at the grocery store or when I’m running errands, and they tell me they miss getting together.” climate change and violent childhood, seemingly disparate things, is the same,” she said. “I was present to the grief, but celebrating the moment. So it’s OK to see the beauty of what we still have, even though the whole West is on fire today. That’s how you live through an abusive childhood, and that’s how we’re going to live or die through the death of the planet. And the ranch brings things back to earth with everyday life.” Houston says “Deep Creek” is her real-time follow-up to “Cowboys Are My Weakness,” which she published in 1992. “I’ve written a lot of books in between, but this book is the ‘whatever happened to that cowboy woman?’ book,” she said. “It’s about that young woman who lived in Park City more than 25 years ago.” Houston resided at 39 King Road from 1986 to 1992, while she attended graduate school in the writing program at the University of Utah. “Park City was like heaven, because I didn’t fit in at the U. and I didn’t fit in well in Salt Lake City,” she said. “It was the old version of Park City, and I skied 100 days a year right out of my house to the Town Lift, and back.” Houston ran rivers during the spring and backpacked in the Uintas during the summer. “I lived my best life there, and no one expected much from me, except going to class once a week,” she said. Houston survived on her $4,500 a year salary working 15 hours a week at Dolly’s Bookstore, and getting her fill with the all-you-can-eat spaghetti night at the Claim Jumper. “It was me and a bunch of other ski bums,” she said. “Plus, I was learning how to write that led to ‘Cowboys Are My Weakness,’ which basically launched my career.” Although the town has changed since she called herself a local, Houston says Park City still feels like home. “I love coming back, and I come back every time I get invited, she said.
