The public is invited to attend the November 16 meeting of the City Council to give input on returning Main Street to one-way and limiting parking to two hours. The meeting, which is held at 7:00 p.m. at the Prospector Square convention con-vention center, will address suggestions for facilitating the increased in-creased traffic flow on Main Street, perhaps by making it one-way. In addition, ad-dition, merchants and employees of business would park off Main Street, allowing for greater shopping ease for patrons. "It's about time the city addressed itself to making corrections to these traffic problems," said Mayor Jack Green at Thursday's council meeting.

The councilwoman noted that recent asphalting has "turned the streets into a mar'elous skateboarding skateboard-ing place. Tve seen 7 and 8-year-olds doing it, and older men who should know better. Miss Bennett said her suggestion rose from a fear that skateboards are dangerous, especially with the increased in-creased traffic flow in town and that their use might lead to an accident. "I think we should do whatever we have to to write an ordinance to make it illegal on our streets," she said emphatically. em-phatically. Mayor Jack Green asked, "Where do you draw the line between skateboards, bicycles, kiddy cars and automobiles they're all dangerous." "It looks like a lot of fun," Miss Bennett said, "but I maintain that it is dangerous, and I'm going to stick to my guns about this." Councilman Steve Dering noted that the initiation of a law was to "protect , people from other people, not from themselves."

Miss Bennett noted that most skateboarders are past the age of parental guidance. Dering retorted, "In other words, they're old enough to know if skateboarding is dangerous?" "That's right," said the council-woman, council-woman, "they should have better sense." Dering asked if it was the city's job to provide that sense. He continued, "Maybe we should make Main Street one-way going up to keep skateboarders skateboard-ers off." This comment came just prior to the announcement that city officials are considering making main Street one-way again. Councilman Bob Wells said, "One of the nice things about living in Park City is being able to use it. The problem may be with the cars, not skateboards. Maybe we should look toward better controls and lower speed limits." "We will fully consider the issue," said Green. "We'll take into account all vehicles of transportation, including in-cluding jogging." The City Council's wheels are in motion and the skateboarding question will be carefully scrutinized by the ordinance committee before action is taken. help keep you house warm, in addition to closing doors to unused rooms and shutting off their heat vents. Miss Bennett pointed out that if storm windows win-dows are not practical, using plastic over windows will stop drafts. Wearing a sweater and turning down the thermostat also saves energy.

In the closest of all the local elections, elec-tions, incumbent Republican Bill Wallin of Snyderville edged Democrat Stevens for the four-year county commission term by a mere 31 votes, 1633 to 1602, according to unofficial returns. Stevens carried Park City by a wide margin, outdistancing Wallin 611 to 149, but he carried only two precincts in the North Summit and South Summit areas. Summit County Clerk Reed Pace, who was re-elected, said voting in the other end of the county was "fairly heavy" while "less than 50 percent" of the Park City voters bothered to visit the polls. A heavier local turnout obviously would have enhanced Stevens' chances for victory. In the race for the two-year county commission seat, Republican Gerald Young was the winner with 1297 votes, 158 votes ahead of Democrat Wendell "Dutch" Woolstenhulme. Decker, running as an independent, easily carried Park City but fared poorly in the rest of the county. Of his 752 votes, 450 came from Park City. Republicans took five of the seven contested races for county or regional seats. In addition to the victories by Wallin and Young: Glade Sowards defeated Hal Schlueter, 1912 to 1165, in the District 26 state senate contest; Glen Brown downed Penny Austad Davis by a convincing 2219-942 margin in the District 66 state representative contest; con-test; and Reed Pace was re-elected as Pymm To Head Bureau Garth Pymm, head of Park City Enterprises, En-terprises, was elected president of the Park City Convention and Visitors Bureau at a meeting held last Wednesday Wed-nesday afternoon at the Prospector Square Convention Center. Also elected were: 1st Vice President Debbie Travis (Holiday Inn) ; 2nd Vice President Bob Hutchins (Prospector Square); Treasurer Bob Wells (Park City Resort Lodging); and temporary Secretary Laura Thomas ( Park City Ski Corp. ) . The five officers were chosen from a 15-member board of trustees, which was elected unanimously by the membership just prior to the selection of the bureau officers. In addition to the officers, the board of trustees consists of : Jere Calmes (Mt.

Democrat Donna Frost defeated Republican Carl Ovard 1768 to 1404 in the race for county treasurer and incumbent in-cumbent Democrat Robert Adkins retained his county attorney post, repulsing a bid by Assistant County Attorney Terry Christiansen 2055 to 1140. Running unopposed were Sheriff Ron Robinson, a Republican; County Assessor Leo Frazier, a Democrat; and County Recorder Wanda Spriggs, also a Democrat. Although Robinson ran unopposed for the sheriff's post, controversial fundamentalist John Singer received 50 write-in votes. Robinson faces the unenviable task of serving warrants for Singer's arrest. The Park City Fired District board seat up for grabs went to Bob Burns, who defeated Torn Shellenberger 192 to 152 in a write-in battle. Commenting on his narrow defeat early Wednesday morning, Stevens, who celebrated his birthday on election elec-tion day, commented, "I'm not disappointedit disap-pointedit was a good showing. I don't feel I'm the loser, I think the county is." Stevens lamented the light voter turnout in the Park City area and said he still feels he is the best qualified candidate to address the serious problems which will be facing the county. After thanking the people who voted for him, Bruce Decker remarked, "Those people who didn't vote for me will have to live with the results for the next two years." "This is the last time Park City will go down in defeat," he added.

Opening the meeting, temporary chairman Lloyd Stevens told members mem-bers it is "very natural" that Park City should have a convention bureau. "We have everything necessary to make this a viable organization," he said. The bureau has a membership dues goal of $75,000 and the organization anticipated that $50,000 of that amount would be collected before this ski season to put the group "on solid ground." Bob Wells reported that $51,219 in dues has been pledged by 52 subscribed sub-scribed members and said he is "convinced "con-vinced the $75,000 figure is easily obtainable." ob-tainable."
