But how far and how do we travel to our sport of choice? The associated carbon footprint to not only the sport itself, but how we get to it is worth a think. We should feel gratitude for the array of sports available to us — mountain and road biking, hiking, pickleball, golf, hockey, skiing and more. But how many of these activities rely on a car to get there? Is it possible to walk, bike, bus or carpool instead? How about purchasing and taking an e-bike? The average fuel-based passenger vehicle emits about one pound of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere for every mile it’s driven. Should a 22-miles-pergallon car hit three trailheads in one week, each about 5 miles SALLY ELLIOTT Park City Museum researcher (This is the 10th in an occasional series about founders of the storied Silver King Mine.) I’m a lucky sort of guy. As a kid growing up in Ontario, I learned blacksmithing, which is always in demand. I later moved to Vermont and established myself as a blacksmith. Another move to Concord, New Hampshire, introduced me to my lovely wife Bridget Welsh, whom I married in 1875. Though we were doing well, we got a yearn to travel to the gold fields out West, but when Bridget and I heard about Park City in 1882, we moved here. The Daly Mine hired me as a blacksmith, and pretty soon I was able to buy some horses and wagons to haul ore. I had a livery stable where I met influential people who elected me to the Park City Council and Utah state Legislature. We were living up in the canyon where all the trees had been cut for mine timbers and fuel, resulting in a series of deadly avalanches. Poor Bridget was scared of the avalanches so I built her a house right next to St. Mary’s Catholic Church so she’d feel safe. A stroke of luck was my friendship with John Judge. He was part of the group who invested with Tom Kearns and David Keith in the Mayflower Mine. By 1890, when they discovered that the ore was leading into the Silver King claims, they bought those. John Judge was one of their partners, but he was getting pretty weak from miner’s consumption. He offered me half of his shares in the deal, but I didn’t have that kind of Hospital pushed to capacity by virus LINDSAY WHITEHURST Associated Press PARK CITY HISTORICAL SOCIETY & MUSEUM, HIMES-BUCK DIGITAL COLLECTION James Ivers, Sr., blacksmith and partner in the Silver King Mine. money. I went home and told Bridget we could be really rich if only I had the money to buy into those Silver King claims. I’d had a hard day of work, so after supper I took a little nap. When I woke up, there was Bridget waiting with a coffee can full of money. I asked her where she got all that money and she said “Jim, every night when you hang up your pants on the hook, I empty the change Scoreboard High School Sports Football from home, that is 30 miles or 30 pounds of CO2 for the hike or ride alone! What are the alternatives to being less reliant on the car? Settle on something closer to home? Balance, even change some sports? Additionally, how reliant is the sport itself on natural resources to sustain it? Our choices — where we shop and how often, how we recreate, what services we select for medical, teeth, hair or food — have an associated carbon footprint. Is it possible to keep them closer to home? Go less often? Carpool, walk, bike or take the bus? Perhaps it’s time to have a think about our choices and start modeling change. My friend bikes his clubs to the golf course.

But my investment in the Silver King Mine paid off handsomely! By the time I was elected to the Legislature, we were able to build a house at 564 East First South Street and we moved down to Salt Lake City. Later my son became manager of the Silver King Mine. SALT LAKE CITY — One of Utah’s largest hospitals had no beds left Friday in its regular intensive-care unit as the governor declared the state’s weekslong spike in coronavirus cases “unsustainable.” The University of Utah Health had to set up extra ICU beds staffed by doctors and nurses working overtime to care for its critical patients this week as the unit hit 104% capacity, said Chief Medical Officer Dr. Russell Vinik. “We’ve cut back where we can Volleyball Results – October 15 North Summit 3, Duchesne 0 Duchesne 18 5 20 - 0 North Summit 25 25 25 - 3 Results – October 13 North Summit 3, Monticello 0 South Summit 3, Providence Hall 0 Wasatch 3, Provo 0 Results – October 8 North Summit 3, Gunnison 2 Results – October 6 North Summit 3, Altamont 0 South Summit 3, Judge Memorial 0 Standings Region Overall Division 5A Region 8 W L W L Park City 6 0 7 1 7 1 8 2 Standings Region Overall Salem Hills Maple Mountain 6 4 11 5 Division 5A Region 8 2 2 2 4 W L T W L T Wasatch 1 3 2 4 Springville 13 1 0 15 3 0 Spanish Fork 3 2 0 pts 23 47 78 85 40 41 71 79 126 180 Season Standings Big Balls Little Kicks Squid Whiskey Business Plastered Penguins Balls Deep Trippin’ Balls Saved by the Ball Keyballers Later Today Saints 4th Base Down Underdogs Trump Bunts Kick-Fil-A W 9 6 6 6 4 4 4 3 3 3 3 1 0 7v7 Soccer Tournament Scores Finals – October 15 Intermountain Mortgage 4, Cornerstone Realty 2 League Champs Intermountain Mortgage Results – October13 Misfits 8, Jesus & His Disciples 2 Intermountain Mortgage def.

We can’t take another hit.” Health officials again reported near record-breaking levels of new coronavirus cases Friday, meaning hospitalizations could continue to rise. Utah health officials reported nearly 1,500 new cases Friday, a number that Republican Gov. Gary Herbert called “sobering” during a weekslong spike in new cases that started after the new school year began. Doctors like Vinik are also worried about the impending holiday season. 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 2 2 Ice Results – October 11 Results – October 6 Misfits 9, Messi in My Pants 0 Spa 9, Marmots 1 Resurface 9, Puckers 3 Jesus & his Disciples 8, PC Results – October 4 Rage 3 Spa 3, Puckers 2 Intermountain Mortgage Resurface 8, Marmots 1 Company 7, Jesus & his Disciples 3 Standings W L T pts 3 0 1 7 Season Standings W L T Resurface 3 0 1 7 Intermountain Mortgage 9 1 Spa Puckers 1 3 0 2 0 0 4 0 0 Cornerstone Realty 8 2 0 Marmots Misfits 7 3 0 Jesus & His Disciples 4 6 0 PC Rage 2 8 0 Silver League Messi in My Pants 1 9 0 Results – September 30 Altitude Painting 5, Bears 3 Bladerunners 5, 5-13 5 Results – September 29 Adult Volleyball Murder Hornets 5, Ice Holes 5 L 0 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 Results – October 14 4 Panthers 2, Setting Ducks 0 5 Freeballer 2, Panthers 1 5 Chewblockers 2, Wapacha 0 8 Chewblockers 2, Premier Ball 8 Busters 0 Killer Tofu 2, Freeballer 0 Setting Ducks 2, Bite the Mango 0 Squid 2, Premier Ball Busters 1 Squid 2, Wapacha 0 Standings Chewblockers Squid Killer Tofu Setting Ducks Standings Altitude Painting Bladerunners 5-13 Murder Hornets Ice Holes Bears W 2 1 1 1 1 0 L 0 0 1 1 1 3 T pts 1 5 2 4 1 3 1 3 1 3 0 0 Please forward submissions by noon Sunday for Wednesday’s W L edition and by noon Wednes2 0 day for Saturday’s edition to 2 0 scoreboard@parkrecord.com 1 0 1 0 Compiled by Joe Lair |
