Show 'fill I ML Ojtt Cljal By Bca Clarence Pederson, a Park City native, is retiring after 30.5 years service to the Utah State Department of Transportation Clarence has worked out of the Kimball Junction roadsheds and he and the crew there have been responsible for the care and clearing of the snow from the highways in our area.

Hospital patients this week are Emma Morgan and Marge Angeli. Emma is recuperating at home, we wish both a speedy recovery. I REMEMBER WHEN: by Bea Kummer When locals were hired not fired--When being a native was not a crime but an honor-When honor-When the budget could not buy a car for the police dept. so a local car dealer gave the dept. a car. When executives, Mayor,' council received their paltry pay but gave it back so the common laborer could be paid. When all city employees lived here and paid taxes -- Very few do now and don't even pay property taxes because they own none. When we all paid our fair share and were charged fair. Now we have players who never pay. Why should the taxpayer always sbe charged for others to play? When we had no free service because we didn't have a toursit. But they don't expect free service but do expect to pay for and get good service. They don't get free service where they come from, why should they get it here? If they can afford to play, they can afford to pay - why always the taxpayer (property). Let them pay for the privilege of coming here. It is no wonder the natives are getting fewer and fewer due to more courtesy, kindness and well wishes to the visitor than the resentment that builds each time we are hit with more tax for them to play. . It is no wonder the natives are getting fewer and fewer due to the higher and, higher cost of living here. We cannot go back only forward but we should learn from the past. If there were only tourists and no permanent residents who would be charged for the services? I wonder. |
