Show Page 2 Wednesday, February 16, 1977 Newspaper Talk ftttttc Juices How About It ? 3 Not Good-Bye It was with shock that we received the news of Stein Eriksen's departure from the Park City Ski Corp. Over the past six years, the names Park City and Stein Eriksen have become synonymous. His absence will leave a recognition void which we doubt can be filled. The Newspaper and Mr. Eriksen have not always seen eye to eye. This was very apparent early last winter when his ski school hiring practices prac-tices came under fire from one of our feature writers, resulting in a refusal by Mr. Eriksen to advertise with us. For several weeks, accusations ac-cusations and counter claims were bandied back and forth on our pages. However, during the entire en-tire controversy, we never denied that Stein is an invaluable asset to Park City. It was only his business practices that we've questioned editorially. Since that time, we have established a good relationship with the former Olympian (although we are still waiting for his ads) and we would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for what he has done for Park City and to wish him all the best in the future. Stein has vowed to remain in Park City and we sincerely hope he keeps his pledge. It would not surprise us to find him employed by another very nearby resort in the not-too-distant future. In the meantime, chair lift passengers will get no flashing glimpse of the fashion plate skier who keeps forgetting to grow old. Jim Lawrence Bob Trepanier Patty Miller Several developers have recently applied for annexation. How do you feel about increasing the amount of land available for development within the city limits? Jim Lawrence - In the past, it has been my experience ex-perience that it is better to annex adjacent areas rather than having separate towns. Bob Trepanier - If the developers have done their homework and have developed roads, sewer, etc. so there will not be any additional tax burden on the people of Park City, and if the developments are compatible with the rest of Park City, then I think annexation is a good idea. Patty Miller - As long as there is no detrimental effect on taxes, water supplies and other utilities, I'm for it! But I don't know if that's 'feasible. Bill Kranstover -1 think quality should be emphasized em-phasized instead of quantity. Ken Shoulder - Why not develop the areas that are already in the city? You know what I mean. Bill McComb - Because Park City is such an especially unique place, there will always be tremendous pressure to develop the ground in and around the city, and I feel the city should strongly control these developments i.e. densities, den-sities, aesthetics, water, sewage. If annexation is the only way to effectively control these developments in these peripheral areas, then I would favor that course. Bill Kranstover if JN Ken Shoulder i J Bill McComb Letter m li Support Ehvell Open letter Board: to the School As parents of two elementary elemen-tary students' we- support John El well's continuance as Principal of Marsac School. John's record as a progressive school administrator, ad-ministrator, the notable success suc-cess of his Marsac reading program, his frequent little known assistance to his financially less fortunate pupils, and his continual study in his chosen field mark John as one in a million. Any town of any size would count themselves lucky to have John Elwell in their school system. Let's stay lucky. Priscilla & Daniel Willard. Streets Given Top Budget Priority Continued From Page 1 then come back later and would be made a toD Drioritv i Chamber upgrade the entire width of the road, the city will complete com-plete the water and road construction at the same1 time. To increase the road allotment, the committee had to do some juggling. It was decided that $48,822 budgeted for the restoration of old-style lamp posts on Main Street would be transferred trans-ferred to streets and that the Main Street lighting next fiscal year as part of an overall Main Street improvement im-provement plan. An addition to the city shop priced at $20,000 will also be deferred with the funds going to the road improvement im-provement project.

When asked when the con struction of the new needed roads could begin, Mr. Phil Fredrickson responded that these things take time but will move faster if we keep the powers that be aware of Its urgency. That he said could best be done bv sen- pairicinj ding FREQUENT letters to influential persons within the Road Commission. As a result the Chamber of Commerce is asking business people to send letters to the following individuals requesting the Park City Road Project be of high priority and that they do everything in their power to speed up the process of road construction so our growth needs will be met before they become a problem. A sample letter is available at the Chamber of Commerce office. Your cooperation in this compaign will be greatly appreciated. 1IU1JMI I f n Editor.
