The historic building on Empire Avenue has been the object of controversy for more than a year when it was first offered as a donation to the city. Owned by Monty Gibson, the building build-ing was to have been moved last summer to make room for the construction of Gibson's Shadow Ridge condominiums. con-dominiums. Lack of finan- ove Awaits Signature cing, however, stalled development de-velopment of the condo project, and left the hospital moving in question. Many citizens have voiced concern that the building is falling into disrepair, and doubted the sincerity of the owner's intentions. It was revealed two weeks ago that Gibson entered into an agreement with Blaine Huntsman and Ladd Christ-ensen, Christ-ensen, developers of the Skyview Hotel in the Depot Project, to purchase the hospital and the ground under it. Huntsman and Christensen intend to develop de-velop Shadow Ridge, and move the historic building to a new site. At last Thursday's City Council meeting, Councilman Council-man Bob Wells presented an agreement to be signed between Gibson's Amalgamated Amalga-mated Vulture, Inc., Christensen Christ-ensen and Huntsman, and Park City Muncipal Corporation. Corpora-tion. The agreement specifies speci-fies that Christensen and Huntsman intend to donate the hospital to the city and to have it moved and prprtpd on a foundation at their expense. ex-pense. The city then would be given the deed to the building. In addition, Wells presented the council with a house moving contract previously signed by Gibson and Robert E. Wells Inc. of Salt Lake City. It will cost $135,000 to move the Miner's Hospital. Still left in question, however how-ever is the building's new location. The owners of the Depot Project have agreed to donate a parcel of land to the city for the hospital, but it has not been decided precisely where that is. One Depot Project partner, Bill Coleman, noted at the meeting meet-ing that the building, in all likelihood, will be placed just north of the Coalition Building Build-ing on Park Avenue. He commented that the final decision should be made within the next several weeks. Barring any more hitches, it looks like the Miner's Hospital at last will be seen making its tedious trek down Park Avenue on the back of a flatbed truck to its new home. i .dp ffi Gourmet Coffee & Teas espresso & cappuccino Greek pocket pita sandwiches fresh roasted coffee bean varieties bulk tea & tea things coffee makers & acessories accessories espresso & cappuccino pots fresh carrot cakes oatmeal cookies Park City Resort 2336 E70th So S.L.C.84121 943-2105- 649-9791 Ideas Fop Better Living Ungrateful Guests By Dr. M. Ford McBride Timpanogos Community Mental Health Center Most authoritative research resear-ch indicates that adolescent drug abusers frequently misuse drugs because their emotional needs are not being met within the family unit. I have found that adolescents who abuse drugs often feel they are not accepted accep-ted by their parents. The child who is continually put down soon questions his value as a worthwhile member mem-ber of his family and consequently con-sequently turns to drugs for an identity and a way of meeting physical , "and emotional needs. Drugs not only offer physical and emotional comfort for a person per-son with a poor self concept, but the drug culture also offers of-fers immediate, easy companionship. com-panionship. If the structure of the family can encourage drug abuse the pressing question is what can parents do to prevent the possible abuse of drugs by their children? In a recent survey, high school journalism students were asked to comment anonymously on factors within families which they thought might jdiscourage misuse of, drugsTthe surve&. showed that positive famff relations was the most frequently mentioned deterrent to drug abuse. The high school students felt that shared affection,, love and caring, trust, closeness and willingness to listen were the critical deterrents to drug abuse. Family discipline was also listed as an important factor. fac-tor. A surprising finding was "Mt the students felt they Planning Funds Sought City Council finance committee com-mittee chairman Bob Wells noted at last Thursday's meeting that Park City has applied to the state of Utah for a grant to help defray costs for the upcoming city master plan update. Wells noted that the update up-date would cost between $20,000 and $30,000. The need for a master plan update was decided at a joint meeting of the City Council and Planning Plan-ning Commission on May 16. Wells said he anticipated the city would receive dozens of proposals from engineering firms between July 9 and 13. He pointed out that candidates were to have been discussed at the regularly scheduled July 19 City Council meeting, but applications would be received until the 13th, not allowing enough time for review. He requested a special meeting be set for July 26th, at which time both the City Council and the Planning Commission will convene at 7 p.m. at the Prospector Square conference center. The public is invited to attend. should have reasonable restrictions placed on them by their parents. They also felt they should be given household responsibilities and that parents should take time to know where their children are. Open discussion of issues and open mindedness were also listed by several students. studen-ts. I think what the students were saying is that if their parents reacted toward them in a mature, trusting way they in turn would act responsibly and would be less likely to abuse drugs as a way of meeting their emotional needs.
