Service y 1h5v sri ?&(m .Whadd'ya Know? by Rick Brougli This just in: City Hall has announced that on the afternoon of Monday, Dec. 27, Park City instituted a freeze on nuclear arms and everything else. The city manager's office advised that if a future power outage knocks out gas and electric heating, citizens of Old Town should immediately convene at the hot meat counter of the deli at Alpha Beta. If you have friends and relatives who are already too stiff, these people can be stored in the frozen food section until help arrives. For fast temporary warmth, the city advises you to use your wood-burning stoves ; conduct a sing-along of Ike & Tina Turner tunes; or read aloud from letters to the editor on the city's proposed beer tax. Park City came in for its share of awards when a recent issue of United Airlines' in-flight magazine rated the Bests among Intermountain ski resorts. The ratings in the October issue of "United," were the personal choices of Denver Post ski editor Charlie Meyers. Unfortunately most of the awards went to Aspen and Telluride in Colorado, and Sun Valley in Idaho. But we were recognized also. Park City was one of four resorts recognized for "Best Family Skiing." The Cowboy was designated as the Best Bar in Park City. Awards also went to the Prospector Club (Best Athletic Club); the Utah Powder Guides (co-winner for Best Helicopter Skiing); and the Mariposa in Deer Valley, (Best Mountain Restaurant). The biggest disappointment was that we did not win the award for Best Old Mining Town Turned Ski Resort. Meyers awarded that plaudit to Crested Butte and Telluride, both in Colorado. Other Utah resorts won recognition also. Alta and Snowbird were awarded Best Powder and were named among Best Resorts to Pick Up Men. Only one complaint. We had to read about this in the "Mountain Express" paper out of Ketchum. Why doesn't the Chamber of Commerce tell us these things? Deer Valley should have also won an award for Most Celebrities at a Utah Ski Resort. A reliable source said the resort hosted a party Tuesday consisting of Robert Redford, Barbra Streisand, and Ali Mac-Graw. Mac-Graw. Edgar Stern and his people are eminently qualified, of course, to discreetly pamper the rich and famous. (We assume, however, that Streisand's singing voice was classified as an avalanche hazard for the duration.) Other P.C. scuttlebutt also reported that Tom Selleck-'Magnum P.I." had briefly abandoned the shores of Hawaii for the moguls of Park City. Our last award for 1982, for the most unusual Christmas card, goes to City Planner Bill Ligetyand. wife Cindy Sharp. Bill and Cindy must be trying to start a polar bear society. They stripped down to their bathing suits and posed on their windsurfers in the middle of the frozen lake near Silver Springs. (I suppose that's one sure way to stay up on your surfer.) Smiling merrily through grit teeth, the pair look like they can hardly wait for summer. And a h-h-h-h-appy h-h-h-holiday to you too! KUTV's "Extra" program last Sunday reported on a complex physics experiment on proton decay being conducted in the Silver King Mine. But the Park City Newspaper had the scoop last April, in a story written by then-staffer Mike Spalding. Put simply, a team of scientists have constructed a large water tank and other equipment in the mine to obtain evidence of proton decay. (Since a proton reportedly takes 1,034 years to decay, it is hoped these guys brought lots of magazines.) Channel Two reported there is a heated international race among teams of physicists, since early evidence of this process will almost certainly mean a Nobel Prize. The cheery Communicable Disease Newsletter News-letter from the Utah Department of Health has arrived in the office. The letter warns of a medical problem called Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome or AIDS. This apparently refers to a group of infections such as (take a breath) encephalitis encephali-tis due to "aspergillosis candidiasis, cryptococcosis, crypto-coccosis, cytomegalovirus, nocardiosis, strongyloidosis..." One clear symptom of these diseases is severe fatigue after attempting to pronounce them. The state said groups susceptible to AIDS include male homosexuals, intravenous drug abusers, hemophiliacs and Haitian immigrants. immi-grants. Presumably you're in real trouble if you belong to all four groups. We haven't seen anything that depressing since the news story about a terrorist identified as a gay Cuban epileptic. Said the headline: "FBI calls heist suspect a deeply troubled man." One last example of bureaucratese for the old year. A news release from the Bureau of Reclamation announces: "A set of interim guidelines covering the implementation of self-executing portions of the Reclamation Reform Act of 1982 has been issued by the Bureau of Reclamation..." This is too easy to pick on. But to start you might ask, if the sections of this Act are "self-executing," why do they need a set of interim guidelines to implement them? For the New Year, our faithful servants in government should resolve to self-execute themselves if they start writing like this again. A large audience cheered the final performance of "Music Man" on Tuesday night. Practically the entire cast was in good spirits. The only exception was the normally exuberant Katherine Janka. Victimized by a head cold, Janka had to struggle through the night with a voice that sounded more like Andy Devine than Hermione Gingold. The party after the show was highlighted by the presentation of Christmas gifts. Music Man Scott Morgan saluted the cast in parting with a rendition of "My Way." And of course there was a song from the show's barbershop quartet. (The SCTV television show used to do a comic sketch with a Lettermen-style group called the Five Neat Guys. In that spirit, I would suggest that Dick Cummings, Mike Phillips, Bill Tatomer, and Bob Toy be henceforth identified as The Four Neat Guys.) Don Gomes opened the show by announcing announc-ing that the orchestra bus was delayed by bad weather and were there some folks in the house who happened to play the trombones, piano, drums and flutes? Luckily, he managed to form a group (from the orchestra members planted in the audience). Gomes also stepped up to a man in the front row and asked, "Excuse me, don't you play the clarinet?" But the gentlemen, a guy named Hal Linden, politely said "No thanks." Linden's presence reportedly prompted one cast member to run backstage and gasp, "Burt Reynolds is in the audience!" In response, Gomes has announced that he will hold a seminar next Monday afternoon on "Identifying Celebrity Mustaches." After the U.S. Congress voted itself a pay raise, sarcastic Salt Lake d.j. Jim Dabakis asked listeners to send money for a "Caviar for Congress" fund. His radio station, KZJO, received $2,000 in pledges plus a few extra razzberries to go along with the caviar. Gifts sent to the station included a group certificate good for use at an Elka, Nevada brothel, a Miss Piggy doll and nine tons of manure. Panel to present choice of architect for City Hall The Park City Council will hear a recommendation Jan. 6 on the choice of an architect to supervise the restoration of City Hall. The recommendation will come from a five-member panel organized to screen the 13 applications for the City Hall job. The panel included Tina Lewis, a member of the Park City Council; Peter Goss, professor of architecture architec-ture at the University of Utah; Pat Smith, local historian; David Krajeski, representing the business community; and Suzette Ahrendt from the Historic District Commission. Lewis said the original list was whittled down to seven applicants, then to three. From that final group the panel made its choice, which will not be made public until Jan. 6. Once an architect has been selected, he will be asked to prepare cost estimates and preliminary plans for the restoration project, Lewis said. Using those plans and estimates, the city will approach private investors to fund the project. According Accord-ing to Lewis, the investor would purchase the building, pay for the restoration, then lease the building back to the city. At the end of a predetermined period, ownership of the building would revert to the city. "He would be basically putting up the money, but he would be doing it (the restoration) to our specifications," specifi-cations," Lewis said. "We've probably had six different investment groups that are interested in this, because they get amazing tax breaks." Police Steport While on routine patrol in the Deer Valley area around 11 p.m. on Dec. 27, police officer of-ficer Kip Ingersoll noted an older model Chevrolet sitting sit-ting in the middle of an empty em-pty parking lot with its interior in-terior light on. Ingersoll approached to see if there was a problem. Upon talking to the driver, the officer noticed a strong smell of marijuana. He had the two occupants of the vehicle get out. Following further questioning, Ingersoll Inger-soll discovered eight capsules cap-sules hidden in a cigarette pack that the car's driver, James Murray of Buena Vista, California, said was "speed." Ingersoll also found a film container with partially smoked marijuana cigarettes inside. Murray, along with William Cook of Huntington Beach, California, was then arrested, booked on possession of controlled substances sub-stances and taken to the Coalville jail where Judge Kilby set bail for each at $106. In other items : Officer L. Berry spotted a car drive precariously down Main Street in the early morning hours of Dec. 23. When the car turned into the 7-11 parking lot, Berry followed suit. The car's driver, Craig Nobis of Park City, was given a field sobriety test. Upon failing it, he was placed under arrest. Nobis refused to take a blood alcohol test and was threatening to kick Officer Berry. After being joined by another officer, Ingersoll took Nobis to the Coalville jail where he was charged with driving under the influence. in-fluence. Bail was set at $406. There were several auto burglaries reported in the past few days. Several vehicles parked in the Sweetwater condos underground un-derground lot were vandalized van-dalized and various items taken from within. Skis were a hot item among local thieves as well. Many pairs were left unattended unat-tended while taken. Local police authorities urge that all skiers lock up their equipment thoroughly when leaving it somewhere or face the very real possibility that your stuff won't be there when you get back. In other notable robberies rob-beries of the past few days, Dan Sheredy says someone took his $200 Toro snowblower from the deck of Stein Eriksen's Lodge. Steve Jensen reports that someone nicked his $600 Amana microwave from unit E-l of Stonebridge condos. Tim Sharp says that unknown persons made off with a 12-inch 12-inch table saw and other construction tools from a house Sharp was working on in Centennial Circle. Total value of the stolen items was estimated at $1,000. James Mayberry, of Rossi Hill, reports that his 1979 Chevrolet pickup truck was damaged by a hit and run driver sometime during the night of Dec. 22. Damage to the taillight area of the vehicle was estimated at $300. We Have a Better Gl Hatchback I Snow conditions All three local resorts are reporting a healthy snowpack and if you can stand the cold very good ski conditions as the season ends its final week of 1982. "It's been pretty cold," says Packy Longfellow, communications director at the resort. "But as long as people come prepared and dress properly, it's great. Ski conditions are very good." Park City reports a total snow depth of 73 inches at midweek. Deer Valley and ParkWest both report 70 inches. in-ches. All runs and lifts are open at each. Skiing throughout the area is entirely on packed and packed powder surfaces as no new snow has fallen in the past few days. The National Weather Service says no new snow is likely for the next few days. The artic air blast we've been experiencing will continue to keep Park City in a deep freeze. Clear days and cold nights are expected. ON DEMAND Go in the Snow with 4 wheel drive and front wheel drive!
