Show Wednesday, July 19, 1978 Page 10 It's All In Your Mind Continued From Page I Minto said. "Through repeated mental men-tal training exercises you learn to ex-Dand ex-Dand vour awareness into the thirteenth thir-teenth inch of our yardstick, then into the fourteenth, fifteenth, and so on.. .you may have awareness from the first inch up to the twentieth inch at any moment you desire." Minto said he prefers to refer to the subconscious as the inner-conscious since sub means below or without. To cause the mind to enter the inner-conscious mind with awareness, the author programs each individual with a triggering mechanism that consists of two words and one phrase. The human brain cells are impressed with thousands of triggering mechanisms, he said, and they are virtually anything that causes an action or reaction without conscious effort. A typical example of a triggering mechanism is the automatic application ap-plication of foot to brake when you see red lights flash on the car in front of you. The particular triggering mechanism used by Minto is part of the Alpha Awareness standard exercise, exer-cise, which is included as part of nearly every other exercise learned in the training. "Our triggering mechanism, 'Relax, I Am, Within,' is only for the learning part of Alpha Awareness,' Minto said. "Once you have learned to function with control in the inner-conscious level of mind, we will then take this triggering mechanism away. Once On-ce you have learned to function with inner-conscious awareness, then all you need to trigger it is the desire or the need." Who needs to function with inner-conscious inner-conscious awareness? Who is apt to be among the 200 plus students who crowed into a room for four hours a day for six days to listen to Wally Minto Min-to and learn his techniques? "They are people who feel they have something they are supposed to do in this world but didn't know how to do it," Minto commented, "They are people who feel they have something to offer, even if they aren't aware of what it is. Recently a woman entered the training and felt the need to write, even though she had never done it before. Now she is producing popular books." The techniques learned in Alpha Awareness training have reportedly produced dramatic results including solving distressing problems while you sleep, changing attitudes so that the liver that used to make you ill now becomes a near delicacy, and losing excess weight by envisioning yourself thin and willing others to treat you as such. Fits of anger, ulcers from worry and nights of sleeplessness can become a thing of the past. Inhibiting allergies can be made to disappear, along with gall stones and curvature of the spine. How can these seemingly miraculous results be achieved? Minto compared the brain to soil. He pointed out that the earth does not care what you plant in it and will yield good seed as abundantly as weed. The brain, then, will yield negative thoughts as abundantly as positive. "You can plant the idea of success or failure, happiness or depression, poverty or abundance, perfect health or ill health. Hut whatever idea you plant within the brain, it will yield that result with abundance," Minto said. Positive ideas or desires can only inhabit space in the brain if the negative thoughts opposing your desires are plowed under to make room. Minto said. Learning to relax, clearing your mind of negative thoughts and replacing them with positive thoughts that will lead to a change of thinking is part of the training exercises. Positive goals or ideas will become the predominant brain cell pattern by continually re-firing re-firing positive brain cell impressions. As in the case of eliminating allergies, Minto said predominant brain cell patterns can produce the brain ""Ti ' ' as. Wally Minto chemistry that will allow the body chemistry to produce a healthful balance. That chemistry then also can produce a natural balance in your mind that will effect your environment environ-ment and life. The techniques have worked for Minto, who said he has not had an argument in twelve years with his wife. In fact, he said he has never raised his voice. A test of the true effect of his teachings occurred just weeks ago. Minto said he was alone on a camping trip when he fell out of a tree and broke his leg in two places. But before he actually hit the ground, he said he became aware that he was about to break his leg and that there were at least five good reasons why it was going to happen. He felt no fear and experienced pain for only ten minutes. It was two days before he could gather his camp and reach a hospital to have the leg set, 1 le was told the leg would be in a cast for nearly two months, but three weeks later he had accomplished the five purposes for which he became aware the leg had been broken. Returning to the doctor, he insisted the leg be re-Xrayed, despite the physician's insistence it was impossible im-possible that the leg was healed. Needless to say, the cast was removed that day by an incredulous doctor. Why? Because Minto said his positive thoughts produced the brain chemistry that allowed his body chemistry to heal the wound. "I am not a guru or a miracle worker," Minto emphasized. "Alpha Awareness training might be thought of as a vehicle. It is my job to describe the vehicle to you, show you how to operate it, and give you a road map with several different directions in which you may drive the vehicle. What I am saying is that I can give you the vehicle, but I will not be your chauffeur." Auto Accidents Abound Three automobile accidents acciden-ts in the past week resulted in minor injuries to local drivers and, in one case, extensive ex-tensive damage to a vehicle. Annie Laurie Hebson, 28, of 2707 Holiday Ranch Loop struck the cement divider at the intersection of Empire Avenue and Park Avenue in a 1977 Datsun sometime before 1:30 a.m. on July 16th. Ms. Hebson suffered a broken clavical and, facial bruises and was treated at the University of Utah Hospital. Damages to the automobile have been estimated at $2,000. t A 1958 Volkswagen driven by Mary Sander, 24, and a 977 Ford pick-up truck Hunters Jailed The out-of-season shooting (if a deer two months ago near Francis has resulted in jail sentences and fines for two Salt Lake County men.

Each car had estimated damages of $500. A 1974 Dodge van owned by the Treasure Mountain Inn and driven by William Shorter, 38, collided with a 1969 Datsun driven by Tom Hollingsworth, 27, at the intersection in-tersection of 16th Street and Park Avenue at 12:10 p.m. on July 12th. Both drivers were uninjured, although damages to each car were estimated to be $500. A plate glass window valued at $300 was reported broken on July 16th at the Struggler condominiums. The owner discovered the broken window and reported it to the policeJuly 16th. The window was apparently broken with a rock, although the police have no suspects. Amalgamated Vultures Inc. reported the theft of an antique hutch from the site of the Ski Connection on July 17th. No value was given for the hutch, which was described as 6 ft. by 4 ft. with glass doors. Enoch Smith Construction Co. reported the theft of a Whirlpool dishwasher, valued at $170, and an electric elec-tric range, valued at $342, sometime during the evening of July 10th. The appliances ap-pliances were to have been installed in the Racquet Club cabanas. The police reported they have no suspects. The Park City Police Department reported the arrest of Andrea Bell, 25, of Salt Lake City on the afternoon after-noon of July 17th. Ms. Bell is cnarged with the theft of a stereo, speakers, records and a coffee pot on June 29th from a Park Avenue condominium con-dominium belonging to Fred Kolough of Salt Lake City. Ms. Bell, who was taken to the Salt Lake County jail, is awaiting a trial date. New GOP Official In a special meeting of the County Central Committee convened in Coalville Tuesday." July 11.

Historic Cocktails The Park City Historical Society hosted a cocktail party at the Union Pacific Depot July 12 in an effort to gain new membership and add support for the preservation preser-vation of artifacts and documents essential to the town history. Nearly 50 residents attended the event and 29 became members of the society before evening's end. Guests toured the historic depot building while tasting wine and hors d'ouevres prepared by society members. mem-bers. There was an array of preservation material on display, including information infor-mation on tax increment funding, preservation grants and loans, and rehabilitation processes for older buildings. Local historian and current society head Patricia Smith circulated among the guests answering questions and encouraging participation in the organization. "We were certainly pleased with the turnout," Ms. Smith said. "There were a lot of new faces and a lot of good conversation about the importance of preserving the history of Park City, We hope that many more people will become aware of the society and lend their support." sup-port." Ms. Smith announced that the 1st Annual Coleman Land Company Fundraiser is planned for July 29, an event beginning at noon with golf at the resort golf course and ending with a buffet and cocktails. All proceeds from the fundraiser will got to the Park City Historical Society museum fund. Admission to the event will be $20 for a day of golf and an evening of cocktails. It will be $15 if you're not a golfer but would like to attend the evening festivities. , "The day promises to be a lot of fun and the proceeds are going toward a very worthy wor-thy cause," Smith commented. commen-ted. "We encourage everyone to come out and enjoy en-joy themselves and help bring a Park City museum closer to reality." Koad Experiment renectonzea. An experimental lane striping project for U-224 has been funded by the Utah Department of Transportation. Transpor-tation. The contract, awarded awar-ded to Flasher Barricades, provides for 95,500 feet of thermoplastic lane striping to be placed on U-224 between bet-ween Kimball Junction and the junction with U-248 near the Park City limits. Thermoplastic lane striping is pressure sensitive, sen-sitive, adhesive tape applied by a cold-roll process. It is also periments in other states have found it to be long lasting, but also more expensive. ex-pensive. The advantage of the tape over painted lanes would be primarily a safety factory because it eliminates frequent repainting of faded lanes. The Park City road was chosen as a test site because it has a high single vehicle accident rate and because of its heavy snowplow and winter win-ter traffic rate. City May Buy Park Land Continued is in charge of city recreation, said Tuesday he will push for acceptance of the agreement. "Unless I hear something from our city attorney Thursday night that changes my mind, I don't see how we can afford to pass up this land acquisition," Dering said. "Since being elected to the council, my biggest pains in the neck and elsewhere have stemmed from park use conflicts." Controversy over use of City Park has flared several times in the past year. Softball players, the rubgy team and the high school football team all -. have been embroiled in sometimes bitter arguments over the right to use the field. In the meantime, soccer teams and Little League baseball squads have had to squeeze into the scheduling. . . The high school now has its own football field. In addition, a Little League field, two new softball fields and a soccer field are being constructed near the new high school. From Page 1 "The new fields at the high school should take the pressure off City Park next summer," Dering said, "and the addition of the Royal Street land would give us some breathing room for a lew years." The councilman remarked that rapid growth will exert ever-increasing ever-increasing pressure on recreational facilities and said the city is looking beyond the Royal Street purchase for additional park land. The city's sewage treatment plant sits on one potential park site. Dering said that once the new regional treatment plant near 1-80 becomes operational the 10-acre city treatment plant site will become available. Six of the ten acres are sufficiently level for park development, he noted. Work on the new high school fields has begun but they, probably will not be used until next year, according to Matthews. The city manager said he expects sod to be laid within three weeks. Resort Offers Reward The Park City Ski Corp. is offering a free season ski pass for information leading to the conviction of persons responsible for vandalizing ski company property. Two cases of vandalism have been reported in the past two weeks. Resort marketing manager Craig Badami said both cases were serious enough that resort officials are considering closing operation of the gondola gon-dola for the remainder of the summer season. The latest incident occurred oc-curred Sunday night and caused in excess of $600 damage to the First Time chairlift. According to Badami, the vandals squeezed through a narrow opening leading to the bullwheel and smashed gauges and ripped out wiring. In addition the auxiliary diesel engine was started, although the lift was not set in motion. "Damages of $600 are not that serious when you are talking about a half million dollar lift," Badami commented. com-mented. "But our summer schedule is tight enough that vandalism interferes with other things that need attention." Badami said there were incidences of vandalism last summer, but they appeared to have been caused by people in fn.i--wheel-drive vehicles. The marketing manager cited examples of locked gates across roads leading to resort property having been ripped away from support posts. "We don't know whether the damage is being caused by people from Park City, or maybe people from out of town coming up to use the Alpine Slide." Badami said. "But we may have to close down use of the gondola to keep people off the mountain. moun-tain. We're hoping that offering of-fering the season ski pass as a reward will encourage people to be on the lookout for vandals who may other wise end up ruining a good enough respect to leave it in time for everyone else, good condition. We are There are people who want always glad to host those to use the mountain and have people."
