Stanley Matek, president of the American Public Health Association, told the gathering gather-ing at Park City's Holiday Inn last week that the cuts are made from neglect, not hostility. "Reagan isn't the enemy, he's just the precipitating factor," said Matek. "And even so, he's just the mouthpiece for the people behind him." Matek's remarks on Thursday Thurs-day were the beginning of a long-range debate on health needs. Senator Orrin Hatch refuted his remarks the following day, telling UPHA members that federal health funding would rise 8 percent for fiscal 1983. "The budget will rise from $48 billion in fiscal 1979 to a planned $107 billion in fiscal 1985." Matek, he told The Newspaper, News-paper, is an advocate of big-spending liberal health policies. Senate candidate Ted Wilson, Wil-son, a Democrat appearing on Friday after Hatch, attempted to seize the middle mid-dle ground between Matek and his GOP opponent. The Salt Lake mayor said he endorsed the New Federalism Federal-ism program for returning government functions to states, "but let's not move too fast, too soon." Wilson said state legislatures will have to acquire new sensitivity sensi-tivity to handle the federal programs handed down to them. Matek said Reagan's budget bud-get is designed almost exclusively exclu-sively to stimulate investment invest-ment by eliminating regulations regula-tions that are considered 1700 PARK AVENUE.

A GROWTH OPPORTUNITY . . . ...IN A GROWTH AREA Park City is fast becoming one ol the premier ski areas in the world. It is also the most accessible major resort, served by an international airport less than one freeway hour away. With "The Greatest Snow on Earth," Park City is on the springboard to international recognition. But winter is only half the story. Park City's 70 summer days consist of beautiful green mountains and quiet streams, of golf courses, tennis courts, fishing, horseback riding, hiking, and an old mining town atomosphere. Summer nights mean cultural activities, relaxation and fun in the clean, crisp mountain air.

But fragmenting the programs will hamper them. "If you create 50 inconsistent programs pro-grams there is room for people to get around the rules," he said. Reagan erroneously believes, be-lieves, he said, that the marketplace can regulate such areas as job safety. "He thinks that if a worker is willing, he can take the risky job that pays more. It works fine in a classroom, but not in the mines of West Virginia and Utah. Do you tell the miners to find another job if they don't like the risk?" he said. Matek said he supported some cuts, but that Reagan was taking a meat axe to the programs. "He isn't checking check-ing to see what is appropriate appropri-ate bigness and what is appropriate smallness." He called for health professionals profes-sionals to learn how to sell their programs to the public. "We need to know how to communicate with and manipulate ma-nipulate environmental host settings," he said. Health officials should stress the economic advantages of their work. "You have to talk 'cost benefit' to these jaundiced jaun-diced budget people with the hatchets. And your evidence had better be unassailable." Sen. Hatch stressed the expense the inefficiency of government health plans in his appearance. National health insurance will not work, he said, because demand will soon outpace supply. "There are some great people back east, but they don't understand this area." If Reagan had not reduced inflation, he said, "the dollars dol-lars you have for health may be more, but they would be worth considerably less." Hatch said the inflationary deficits have existed for 41 of the last 50 years. "If Jimmy Carter had been elected, one projection said, inflation would be over 20 percent today and interest rates would be up to 25 percent." The inflationary spiral has occurred, he said, because it's politically popular. He recalled how he was congratulated con-gratulated and applauded after proposing an appropriation appropri-ation for the handicapped. "That's a real thrill, to spend your money," Hatch added. The senator told conventioneers conven-tioneers about his Home Health Plan, which would bring care into residences for people 65 years and over. He also supported localized local-ized health care. It creates more competition, he said, so consumers can shop around for the best health plans and doctors. But in his speech, Mayor Wilson questioned the concept. con-cept. "I had a child in the hospital with spinal meningitis," menin-gitis," he said. "At a time like that, I'm not going to worry about choosing the most economical health insurance." in-surance." The mayor also criticized the Reagan budget for a 40 percent cut in the mine safety programs, plus cuts in Medicare and the Women and Infants program. pro-gram. Metak also took up the theme, saying the budget has been balanced on the back of the social programs. Reagan cut $5 billion from health, while he was told the defense budget contained $50 billion in waste, he said. Senator Hatch told The Newspaper that was not quite true. "The $5 billion was cut from escalating appropriations planned by Carter and Kennedy." As for the military, he noted, they constituted 29 percent of the budget in 1980, compared to 49 percent in 1960. As part of his conclusion, Mayor Wilson said both the Left and Right had gone too far in their spending policies. "We need moderacy now," he said. - JiNk Whadd'ya Enow? by Rick Brough At last, this city administration has a slogan! You've heard of the New Deal, the New Frontier, and the Great Society? Well, get ready for the Bare Bones policy! The new plan was unveiled at last week's budget hearing, where local citizens complained com-plained about rising local taxes. We can't help it, said the council, we've already got a bare bones budget. Why not cut the consultants or the planners, or some other department?, locals asked. They've already been cut down to the bare bones, said the council. When the subject of verified bills came up, there were none to pay. Yep, the council is even bullish on bare bones bills! In further action, Helen Alvarez was appointed official Bare Bones Coordinator and she announced the following cost-cutting actions for next year: ',t'; t ' "' Rather than hold a retreat at Midway, the council will meet next year in the back room of the Main Street Deli. The recreation budget and its personnel will be drastically shaved. Major funding will go for Joy Rasmussen to hold sessions of "Simon Says" in the Memorial Building Basement. Snow removal will be handled next year by a corps of Park City High students, who will get brand-new shovels and will receive Civics credit for turning out in the early mornings to clear roads and sidewalks. City attorney Tom Clyde will be laid off, and complicated legal questions will be referred to Ann Landers. Look for the letters signed "Baffled in the Wasatch". Building and fire inspection will be simplified to a short form in which a contractor swears, "cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye", that his building meets Code. Park City has been recognized in Town and Country.the national magazine of the elite and super-rich! The mag, in case you've never seen it, is devoted to the activities of debutantes, young heirs and Wall Street millionaires. It surveys their tastes in exotic vacation spots, furs, wines, and jewelry. The magazine's June issue published a massive list of the world's most eligible bachelors and bachelorettes, under such categories as "The Horsey Set", "Living Legends" (Greta Garbo, Jackie Onassis), "Power People", "Looks and Lucre," and "Oil Swells." The list includes such impressive names as Bud Maytag, Princess Bunny Esterhazy of Austria, Electra Waggoner Biggs, and Stapleton Dabney Gooch IV. The category "Wild Westerners" includes three men from Park City Jody Bernolfo, Stuart Felton, and Michael Martin. Many of the Eligibles are given certain grades, and both Bernolfo and Felton as are listed as "A" people they attract "Stiff Competition", said the magazine. Sorry Mike, nothing more on you. However, this only scratches the surface of the beautiful people in Park City. Based on reports around town, we compiled this additional list of the most eligible Parkites, along with appropriate comments. Jerry Howells Perfect if you want to paint the town red. Steve Dering A hot number. Don't date him unless you're prepared to see your face on the cover of next week's "National Enquirer". Katharine Janka Uses 'em up like Kleenex. Any man can definitely expect to get The Shaft. Bill Nassikas No lines longer than 15 minutes. Arlene Loble Only goes out on Bare Bones dates. Bring your own napkins. Nancy McComb For first three years, non-tenured dates can be stood up at any time without cause. Tina Moench One of Park City's hot bloods. Is accustomed to dissipated life of beer and taco chips, and will come to bad end if the right person doesn't take her in hand. Demie Milliken The town's Mystery Woman. Reclusive, eccentric, answers phone messages with recording, "I vant to be alone." Judy MacMahon Ssh. Also, you must fill out a card. Jan Wilking Take a number. Rick Brough Requires basic ability at respiratory functions (inhale, exhale, etc.) If necessary, also will hold Tuesday night raffles for free dishes. It doesn't happen often, but occasionally the Volunteer Voice at KPCW needs to have its mouth washed out with soap. One of our alert spies report that a recent program included several minutes of dead air. Finally a male voice said, "We seem to be experiencing technical difficulties." And a female voice responded, "You're also off the ing air!" , .,'' . ...'.. The Park City Library is getting a national profile. The National Library Association convention in Philadelphia is focusing on several libraries as "model projects" and has chosen the Miners Hospital site as a sterling example of historical restoration The Video Three company said it has prepared a promotional tape on Park City for use by local businesses. Anyone interested can see the promo at Sneakers on June 15th, at 7 and 9 p.m. The nine-minute tape can be used by real-estate firms, ski resorts, travel agencies, or any other kind of business. But for the package price, Video Three said they will slip in a 15-second plug for your specific firm. Surprisingly, good reviews are still rolling in for "The Boogens", the Taft International horror flick which was filmed in the Park City area. In the latest issue of Twilight Zone magazine, author Steven King praises it as an enjoyable cheap fright film in the good ol' tradition of "The Blob". The story is about four young people endangered by monsters coming out of an old Colorado mine. "All of them" King writes, "are nearly upstaged by a little dog which is so cute that you immediately want to kill it... One of the movie's small rewards is the fact that the Boogens actually do kill it; they come up through a living room heating grate and strangle the miserable, yappy little beast with their tentacles." Incidentally, we hope King's affection for the picture isn't related to the fact that his latest best-seller, "Cujo" is scheduled to filmed by Taft. Another horror-magazine author praised "Boogens" star Rebecca Balding as one of the finest young actresses around. We were lucky enough to interview her when she was filming the movie in February of 1980, and since then, we've seen her once or twice around town. Is Rebecca yet one more thespian who has decided to make a second home in Park City? If so, welcome to the club! The Memorial Day holiday is a time for remembering, but it certainly wasn't for our editor, David Hampshire. He suffered a minor concussion during a ski accident at Snowbird, and though he's all right now, he says he can't remember anything about the entire day. Y'know, somebody could really take advantage of Hampshire that way. There are certain things we could tell him, but we don't, 'cause we're his friends. We could mention what he did to the busload of Cub Scouts, but we thought we should wait at least until the kids get out of intensive care. We also feel the 70-year-old lady skier won't really sue for personal injury. Rumors have been rampant, so let's set the record straight. David did not meet the governor that day, nor did he say anything about Matheson's mother. We are confident that an investigation will show Hampshire did not trash those vending machines. And we feel that recent sightings of beavers around Snowbird can explain the damage that was done to the tram lift towers. As far as we know, Hampshire doesn't even own an |
