Show Page 2 Wednesday, August 4. 1976 Letters to the Editor Medical Clinic Editor; , "Whore wen. you whcji I needed you?" A good question! I was interested to read about Dennis Hulbert's accident ac-cident at work, in last week's paper. The part that was significant to me, was the mention of going to the clinic only to find it closed. It used to be open every day. Why not now? I would like to comment on this sorry situation. First, the clinic is fully equipped to handle such emergencies. It may look small as you drive by, but that building contains a surgical room, an examining room, and x-ray and developing room, a lab for routine tests, ' and a bathroom. Yes! It's complete! com-plete! The only thing lacking lately is a fulltime doctor. May I give the people of this area a possible reason for this factor? Dr. Rick Williams, a very competent M.D., saw the need for full time medical facilities in Park City. He put a lot of time and money into the building of the Summit Medical Clinic, for our benefit, there to serve us when we needed service. He was there five and a half days a week to give us tHat service. ser-vice. Many have taken advantage ad-vantage of his services, but many of us haven't. I've seen many people drive to Salt Lake for the same services they were unaware they could receive here in town. As we all have certain financial obligations to continued from page 1 no no sd'p? Qon it rerTliir have been expended on the . zoning ordinance, Wilking said it "represents compromise." com-promise." "There are things I disagree with in the ordinance or-dinance and things that every member of the Master Plan Committee disagrees with but you can never reach a total consensus,", he added. Answers In comparing the proposed ordinance with the existing one, City Planner Van Martin stated, "The new ordinance answers more questions and concerns than the old one was iible to do. One reason is , simply that it contains more accurate definitions." Martin , also , said the proposed code provides "a more realistic potential population figure." He described the existing ordinance or-dinance as "completely unrealistic." The planner estimated Park City, if built to maximum density under the present code, would have a population of 100,000. This figure would be reduced to db d ia -vCrNMWTMxa. Iral ra na ra ra na 1 1 1 i i i i i Publisher ........ J. Howard Stable Editor Steve Dering Business Manager .....

Unfortunately he is finding it necessary to go elsewhere to render services; services that could be rendered ren-dered here. My point is, why are we, the residents of Park City, allowing a fine M.D. to commute part time to the city? How many of you could save time by going to Dr. Williams, instead of driving to Salt Lake? , Women, are you aware that you can get your routine PAP tests done here in Park City? It includes a physical exam, and advice on self-breast examinations. . I've seen fine laboratory tests run. Sugar diabetes has been diagnosed, V.D. problems stopped in time, heart problems discovered, just to name a few. Why not take advantage of the facilities at hand? And, the charges are less than in Salt Lake for the same services. I write this as a concerned citizen who is afraid we may find ourselves with a closed-down closed-down facility and no Dr. at all. Think about it. There may come a time when you or someone you . love needs help, and needs it fast! Then you'll have to ask yourself. "Why wasn't he here when I needed him?" Sincerely, Micky Kirby cBn aisfi'i; Ml ml approximately 30,000 under the proposed zoning. Martin added, however, that building to maximum density "will never happen." Not only does the proposed ordinance place a lower limit on growth, Martin said, but it does a .better job of distributing the population. Changes Both Wilking and Martin expect that changes will be made to the zoning ordinance if adopted. ' "The revised zoning is part of a planning process rather than an end point," Wilking said. "It will provide the framework for " planning commission decisions but there exists enough flexibility so that what really happens as a result of the ordinance will hinge on the - commission's com-mission's actions." Martin foresees the creation of a land zone which lied in between the RM and RI) densities. "There's too wide a gap," Martin observed. Noting that there have been "rumblings of lawsuits" from TSE4 I Dave Peets O.D. McGee Cindy Wall v&inv uuo t'.ii'.iui ' in - Aiiii e, .; 01 ivud odJ developers . and other property owners, the planner said, "By making . a few minor changes we can eliminate the threat of legal action without weakening the intent of the ordinance." Martin predicted, "It will probably take as long as a year to straighten out potential problems but this is a common occurance when adopting a new ordinance. It takes time to groom it and get it to where it serves the purpose for which it was created." Public Hearing Wilking said one of the proposed ordinance's strengths is "the amount of input" which went into its formulation. "But conversely,", he added,"we've ( the Master Plan Committee) had to represent the , community's interests while most of the input has originated from private interests as opposed to public interests." Wilking also said the new code "is not what it should be" due to "the constraints of available resources, mainly time and money." . The councilman and city planner agree that the proposed ordinance should be adopted this Thursday. "I hope it gets approved in its present form but we all have to keep an open mind and maintain our flexibility," said Wilking. Martin expressed similar sentiments. "I hope to see it pass but I also hope the city concil will realize that there well have to be a fair number of changes after its adoption." ; - Both city officials urged a large turnout for the Thur-' sday night public hearing. "The ordinance is going to affect everybody in town in one way or another," Martin said. "Everyone should be in touch to make their feelings known and to learn what it proposes to do." n How About It ? What did you think of the XXI Olympiad? Dave Peets In the true sense of the Olympics there was still too much "nationalism" attached. But, the individuals representing the different countries showed their competitive attitudes with many world records. I just hope that the Olympics can continue in 1980 in a state of world togetherness and not political interference. - Reva Hazelrigg The whole idea of Olympic games is for the top world athletes to compete against each other. I did not think that politics should have played such a big part. Hopefully, in the next Olympics all countries can participate. Other than the political part, the Olympics were well organized and the T.V. coverage was great. 0. D .

Mini-Film Courses Programs that Crooks already has planned for the Art Center include a number of "mini-film courses" that are scheduled to begin in October.

All the films shown at the center will be open to the public for "about a dollar," Crooks added.
