The other oth-er members of the staff at city hall and those at the city shops, who have the difficult task of keeping our cars running, the streets plowed, garbage picked up and water running in our homes.

A drive out of the city and into the county City showed they don't really think about us By Barbara Barry Quinn Since the earliest days of Park City, Parkites have felt, for a variety of reasons, they were not adequately represented or served by Summit County. The movement for a separate Park County is not new. With this longstanding rift in mind, The Newspaper recently recent-ly queried county residents about "their view of the conflict con-flict and their feelings toward Park City. It soon became apparent that county residents give little thought to the matter. "I don't know one way or the other,"- "I don't go over there often," were frequent responses. This shouldn't be too surprising. Most Parkites make it to Coalville only once a year to pay their property taxes. To most county residents, Park, as they call it, is the Lagoon of Summit County ; a fun place for a visit or for a night out; not a place they'd like to call home. Jeanie and Jerry Comer of Coalville occasionally eat at one of Park City's restaurants but complain there's no place to dance except , the private clubs. "We don't get over there often enough to join," Jeanie explained. "It use to be a fun place," Jerry said, "But now the music's too loud to talk over, there's ski films, crowds, and not enough room to dance. We used to go a lot but there are too many people to have a good time now." Former Park West ski instructor, in-structor, Mark Monesmith, How About It? Do you feel the attacks by striking coal miners are justified? Paul Brown Anytime any interest group employs em-ploys violence as a means of bargaining, one will find the present system of government digressing to anarchy. Jeff Packard It seems arbitration is sweeping the nation! Jean Roberts Well, no. I don't think you settle anything with violence. It all has to be done peacefully, but the miners are justified in striking. They do need the benefits they're asking for. , Ken Johnson No, I'm not for the violence. The farmers demonstrated peacefully in Nebraska when we were driving through on our way to Park City from Minnesota. I think they got their point across just fine. Bryant Henderson No, I don't think it's the way to go about getting what they want. People have a negative look on violence in the first place. Wendy Henderson I don't think they should be rolling cars and causing trouble. I'm not against striking and picketing, but they should talk it out. Employers should come down to the miners' level and talk of rights and the reasons the violence came about. There now tends bar in Coalville. "If it weren't for Park City I wouldn't be in Utah but I wouldn't live there. I left California to get away from all that," he said referring to the growth of the town. Winter crowds and a , "boom town atmosphere," as one Oakley woman put it, makes many county people glad to live outside Park City. "I'd hate to own a businesss there," says a Wanship resident, prefering anonymity. "There are too many factors dependent on weather and people's whims." Nat Kingson of Kamas worked in Park City's mines for 35 years. "I haven't been there in 12 to 13 years. I hear it's quite different now." He described the Cozy Tavern as being next to Lewis' Scales, up the street from the delivery barn before it became Ely's Garage. "I'd rent horses from Bill Kimball Kim-ball to haul ore from the old Judge Mill." His memories were of a mining town, long before ski lifts and the tourist trade. In his opinion, "They should'a built the town on the flats, where I hear they've got a new high school. They'd had more room than in that narrow canyon. 'Cept they'd all had an uphill walk to work." He recalled a mine strike against county workers. "They (P.C. miners) wanted to work the mines themselves. them-selves. Didn't want any county workers there. That turned a lot of people against Park City, but that was Often9 to discover what residents much. years ago. We're all good friends now. I'd like to see it snow for 'em, like to see the town really get going." His granddaughter, Robin Holtin, says she and her friends "get over there once in a while." Noting that they enjoyed the mine train ride and the Alpine Slide she said, "It's sure changed a lot," since her grandfather's days at the mine. Koy Anderson of Kamas, is an automotive parts buyer and his work brings him in KAC Faculty Show This Week The Kimball Art Center will open its faculty show Saturday Satur-day evening December 17 with a reception from 7:00-10:00 7:00-10:00 p.m. and will run through January 6.

"When I say I'm from Utah, they always ask about Park City, 'is it snowing yet?' Park is known all over the country. My boy-skis boy-skis over there but I haven't been over to do the town in 3 or 4 years." Then there is Park City's reputation as a wild town. "There's too many bars in Park City," says L.D. Rone of Coalville, "they oughta move half of 'em to Coalville." Tom Willett, Park City.

Unemployment Benefits Expanded Beginning January 1, 1978, Utah's unemployment insurance in-surance system will be broadened to include coverage of approximately 40,000 additional Utah workers the bulk of them employed by local government govern-ment and school districts across the state, according to Duane C. Price, director of unemployment insurance (UI) of Utah Job Service. In addition to about 9,000 city and county workers and 29,000 local school district employes, approximately 300 domestic workers employed em-ployed in about 150 homes, and an estimated 1,200 agricultural workers employed em-ployed by some 50 agricultural operations, will be included in the broadened UI coverage, Price said. Local governments presently have the option of providing UI coverage, he noted, but, to date, only Salt Lake County has retained such coverage. The sequence of events that extended jobless protection protec-tion for workers in these additional ad-ditional categories of employment em-ployment began with Congress amending the Federal Unemployment Tax Act in October 1976. This was followed by action at the 1977 special, session of the Utah Legislature to amend the. Utah Employment Security Act to bring it into conformance confor-mance with the changes in the federal act. The criteria for determining deter-mining if an employer is subject sub-ject to the broadened coverage were summarized by Price as follows : Agricultural employers including operation of farms, ranches, . nurseries and greenhouses who pay fash wages of $20,000 or more per calendar quarter or employ 10 or more workers for some part of a day in each of 20 different dif-ferent weeks during the calendar calen-dar year. . . Employers of domestic workers in private homes, local college clubs or local JJotaa ... chapter of a college fraternity frater-nity or sorority who paid cash wages of $1,000 or more in any calendar quarter for these services. , , All local governmental organizations including local school districts. Provisions of the new lawmaking local government subject to the broadened coverage give governmental employes the option of paying quarterly contributors on subject wages to the State Unemployment Unem-ployment Trust Fund or to reimburse the fund for actual ac-tual unemployment benefits paid to former employes. Employers who meet the new criteria for coverage will be required to pay unemployment contributions each quarter on wages they pay beginning January 1, 1978. The maximum wage base subject to contributions for 1978 is 9,600. Price said his division has begun the huge administrative ad-ministrative task of contacting contac-ting new employers who they believe are subject to the amendments. Employers will be asked to complete forms so that proper determinations deter-minations can be made. He urged employers who feel they meet the criteria for coverage to contact their nearest Job Service office. This may prevent having to make retroactive contributions con-tributions if the employer is found to be subject later on, the UI director added. In the meantime, Price noted, former employes of these newly covered employers em-ployers may be entitled to receive unemployment benefits beginning January 1, 1978 providing they meet eligibility requirements. School district employes will not be entitled to receive benefits for any period between bet-ween academic years or terms if there is a contract or "reasonable assurance" the individual will be recalled to work the following school year. 3 |
