In other incidents: The Car 19 Restaurant was stuck with an unpaid dinner tab of nearly $30 Nov. 22 when two male patrons ordered and left before paying. According to hostess Debbie Murillo, the incident occured at about 8:30 p.m. Monday. Two men approximately ap-proximately thirty years of age entered the establishment establish-ment and ordered pate, a steak, a Cornish hen and beer. They ate the pate and drank the beer but while waiting for the rest of the food they told Murillo that IF YOU DGMT HAVE MUCH BflPEREEftSCE DRIVING M SNOW, BE SURE YOUR CAR DOES. Sweden's proximity to the Arctic Circle makes winter driving there an ordeal. But, for the last 30 years, Saabs have cruised rather effortlessly through the glacial conditions of their native country. Since 60 of a Saab's weight is over its front wheels, the car's front-wheel drive provides incredible in-credible traction. Add to that the 15" Pirelli radials that are standard equipment on all Saabs, and you have a car that can cope with the severest of Swedish snowstorms. So if you feel uncomfortable driving through ice and snow, drive the car that feels right at home mere. A baab. The most intelligent car ever built.

Upon investigation, investiga-tion, Park City police determined deter-mined that Black had made a deal with his roommate several days previously concerning con-cerning a trade of vehicles. Reportedly some money had changed hands, but the roommate subsequently decided de-cided to back out of the deal. Black told officers he suspected sus-pected his roommate had taken the vehicle anyway. Black was advised that the situation was a civil matter and that he should consult a lawyer for possible further action. Student Dusty Mandrell reported a $65 ski jacket was stolen from his P.E. locker at Treasure Mountain Middle School on November 18at2p.m. Even Park City can't escape stress UPCM Cimarron merger fails The merger proposal between be-tween United Park City Mines (UPCM) and Cimarron Cimar-ron Corporation of Dallas died after a positive vote by the stockholders failed to gain the majority needed for the merger. At a November 18 meeting in Salt Lake, 41.98 percent of the outstanding shares (2,267,062 shares) voted for the merger and 31.83 percent (1,719,307 shares) voted against. However, a 51 percent positive vote is required by law. A merger vote was originally ori-ginally scheduled for October Octo-ber 28 but was postponed after opposition was expressed ex-pressed by the Atlantic Richfield company (which owns 18 percent of UPCM) and the Bamberger Investment Invest-ment and Exploration Company Com-pany (which owns three percent). UPCM was under the impression that Atlantic Richfield favored the merger mer-ger and said so in its prospectus to stockholders and the Securities and Exchange Ex-change Commission, according accord-ing to E.L. Osika, secretary-treasurer secretary-treasurer of United Park. "Five days before the 28th, Atlantic Richfield said they would oppose it," said Osika. From the offices of Ana conda Minerals, a subsidiary of Atlantic, senior vice-president vice-president Gale Daniels told the Park City News his company wanted the vote postponed to further assess the value of stock from the two companies. By November, he said, their worries were confirmed. con-firmed. "In the acquisition, each share of United Park stock had 30 percent less value than a share of Cimarron, Cimar-ron, compared to the price for both on the open market," mar-ket," Daniels said. On its own, Osika said, United Park has revenues from investments (time certificates and cash management man-agement plans, mineral royalties from the Park City area, and money from sale of real estate to Greater Park City Company). But the company suffered when Noranda Mines Ltd. suspended sus-pended operations earlier this year. Maintaining the mine area in Park City will cost the company about $1,080,000 a year, said Osika. "We continue to hold discussions with companies that are interested in leasing," leas-ing," he said. If prices rose high enough, United Park itself would start to redevelop redeve-lop the Park City mining area, he added. by David Hampshire Felt any stress lately? "Of course not," you say. "What a stupid question. This is Park City, home of the happy hedonists, where troubles dissolve in the clear mountain air." Or is it? Although the general public may see resort communities such as Park City as places to get away from it all, a recent doctoral dissertation by Marion Ayers seems to suggest that it's all going to follow you. Mrs. Ayers, who recently completed the requirements for a doctorate in Social Work at the University of Utah, has released the findings find-ings of her dissertation, "A Study of Stress in Park City Utah A Community Impacted Im-pacted by Recreational Development." And it includes in-cludes some surprising information. in-formation. In conducting the study, Ayers interviewed 24 "key informants" (community leaders) and 150 local residents, resi-dents, then asked the residents resi-dents to respond to three separate scales devised to indicate stress. According to Ayers' conclusions, con-clusions, community leaders believe that local residents are under considerable stress. A majority of local residents believe they have experienced "moderate to extremely severe stress." And responses to two of the major scales indicate "high levels of life change and environmental stress in the community." Why? While Ayers devotes a lot of space to discussing the impact of rapid growth, she concludes that it's not that simple. "We're not saying that rapid growth causes stress. It's a multi-causal thing." Among the factors which she found to be correlated to stress in Park City residents are these: The length of residence in Summit County: the longer you have lived here, the more stress you're likely to feel. Time employed in your present job: the shorter the time, the higher the stress. The quality of your relationships with others in your household. The length of residence in Utah: another positive relationship between the length of time and the amount of stress. Your age: the younger you are, the more stress you're likely to feel. (Up to a point; all those in the study were 21 or older). The distance from your nearest relative (other than spouse): here's one that might surprise you. The further away you are from that relative, the less stress you are likely to feel. "They (relatives) may make your life more stressful," stress-ful," Ayers suggested, "which is the opposite of what we intend." Ayers also compiled a list of environmental factors which are seen as sources of stress in Park City. And, leading the list (in a town which still has not seen its first stop light) are traffic and congestion. She noted that the data was gathered during February Febru-ary and March, when frustration frus-tration over winter traffic problems may have been at its height. Behind traffic and congestion conges-tion on the list of "environmental "environ-mental stressors" are cost of living, overworked city services, ser-vices, distance to extended family, and differences between be-tween old-timers and newcomers. new-comers. Ayers compared her findings find-ings to those of a similar study done in Gillette, Wyoming, where energy development is precipitating rapid change. Overall, she said, there appeared to be a greater amount of stress in Park City, where residents appear to be undergoing more lifestyle changes, and also to be having greater personal and spouse-related problems. So how do Parkites react to all this stress? "The key informants (community leaders) said that most residents respond to the stress in Park City by using drugs and drinking, and that psychological responses re-sponses and divorce were also commonly related problems," prob-lems," Ayers says in her study. In her recommendations, Ayers calls for public relations rela-tions efforts to inform residents resi-dents about available human services, for a public education educa-tion program on prevention of illness, for programs to help people solve their own problems, for supportive programs for young mar-rieds, mar-rieds, and for a coordinated community effort to resolve problems caused by rapid growth. One of Ayers' recommendations recom-mendations is for her study to be replicated by others. "Since this is a first in recreational impact studies, it is essential to determine whether there is consistency over recreational areas, whether it is a finding particular to Park City, or whether it is a spurious finding," she says. Council approves golf passes A special pass extending half price golf privileges to residents outside the city limits was approved Thursday Thurs-day by the Park City Council. Under the current system, Park City residents can buy, for $20, a pass which entitles them to a 50 percent reduction reduc-tion in green fees at the Park City Golf Course. However, Doug Vilven, head professional profes-sional at the course, told the council it was almost impossible impos-sible to determine who was a resident and who was not.

Vilven suggested that a different pass for nonresidents nonresi-dents would help solve the problem. But Councilwoman Tina Lewis wasn't so sure. "Under the new system, , how will you know then ' what category they fall' into?" she asked. "I think we have to find some way to tell where people live." City Manager Arlene Loble argued that a new application process, which includes the use of a photo identification card, would resolve the issue. John Miiller, a local resident resi-dent who frequents the Park City Golf Course, warned the council not to make the nonresident passes too ex pensive, since the green fees were already higher than neighboring courses. "I have a feeling they (nonresidents) will just go play Mountain Dell or, Wasatch," Wa-satch," he said. "But what is it at Vail?" Lewis wondered. "Resort golf courses are a lot more expensive than other golf courses." After some discussion, the council passed a motion approving passes for both residents and nonresidents, setting the fees at $20 and $50 respectively. The council also approved Vilven's proposal pro-posal to lower the nine-holew green fees from $6.50 to $6 and increase the 18-hole fees from $11 to $12.
