Show Park City News Thursday, February 24, 1983 Page A9 IPcpIlficg IEefpgDirtt Quick A penny saved is a penny earned, but this is ridiculous. Mid-afternoon on Feb. 18, local police were dispatched to a reported medical emergency emer-gency at 2649 Lucky John Drive. Upon arrival, Officer Clayton saw a woman Barbara Bar-bara Titensor coming out of the house. She was holding a baby in her arms. She told the police that her young child had swallowed a penny which was now lodged in the infant's throat. The nffiner took the child and turned him upside down over his arm and delivered several sharp raps on the infant's back with the heel of his hand. Such efforts eventually dislodged dis-lodged the penny and the child resumed breathing normally. An ambulance arrived a few moments later and checked the child over. Both the child and mother were taken to the health clinic and after further examination, the infant was declared fit enough to go home. In other items: Apparently some destitute desti-tute video junkie got desperate desper-ate to play another round of Donkey Kong or Ms. Pac-Man Pac-Man up at the resort sometime during the evening of Feb. 15. According to resort officials, somebody removed about $10 or so in change from a video game in the resort cafeteria by means of a heavy-handed break-in. Evidence indicates that the perpetrator gained access to the game's money box by crawling up on top of the machine, sliding down behind it and pushing it away from the wall. The unknown vandal then pried the back panel off the game and removed all the quarters. While the break-in netted only $10 for the thief, the damage the machine suffered suf-fered during the heist amounted to nearly $100. If you're going to drive at breakneck speeds on state highways, you'd better have a valid driver's license. So discovered Victor Byer of Salt Lake City the night of Feb, it. According to Officer Ball of the Park City police, Byer was driving like a bat out of hell a little before 9 p.m. that evening. Ball was in the parking lot at the Mt. Air Cafe that night when he observed a grey 1968 Pontiac two-door round the corner from state route 248 onto route 224. The Pontiac headed northbound and promptly accelerated to a speed Ball determined to be excessive. The officer pursued pur-sued the vehicle and pulled it over on route 224 at Ridge-view. Ridge-view. Upon questioning the driver, Byer, it was determined deter-mined that he didn't have his driver's license in his possession. posses-sion.

Byer was then placed in custody and transported to Coalville for a night behind bars. His vehicle was also impounded. It was a good week for watching drunks perform. Among the more noteworthy intoxicated incidents were the following: Late in the evening of Feb. 20, Park City police received several complaints regarding regard-ing a drunk screaming outside doors of condos on Woodside Avenue. Upon arriving ar-riving at the scene, officers heard what sounded like a dog howling. They soon located a man John Henderson Hen-derson of Houston, Texas-down Texas-down on all fours howling loudly. While helping Henderson Hen-derson to his feet, the officers noticed the reek of alcohol and vomit emanating from his person. Henderson was arrested for public intoxication and disturbing the peace. He was taken to the Summit County jail where his bail was set at $100. Not to be outdone, Richard Brown, Jr. of Escondido, California put on quite a show at the 7-Eleven on Park Avenue in the pre-dawn hours of Feb. 21. According to 7-Eleven clerk Betty House, Brown first entered the store about 4 a.m. and promptly made his way into a back room where he urinated on the floor of one of the food lockers. When he was confronted by the clerk about the incident, he left the store and headed south on Park Avenue. Police were notified, but were unable to locate the suspect. Around 6 a.m., however, police were informed that Brown was back at 7-Eleven and still in a sorry state. When officers arrived, they located the subject behind the store. When they made contact, it was obvious that Brown was still very intoxicated. According Ac-cording to the report filed by the police on the incident, "he (Brown) did not know what he had done and had no idea as to where he was or where he was supposed to have been spending the night." Accordingly, Brown was arrested for disorderly conduct and transported to the county jail where his bail was set at $200. In yet another alcohol-related alcohol-related incident, while conducting con-ducting a routine bar check at the Black Pearl on Main Street the night of Feb. 20, Park City police noticed a disturbance on the dance floor. When police checked out the matter, they discovered dis-covered that Guy Bachman of South Laguna Beach, California was causing a fight and some of the Black Pearl's employees were try- rx mi ing to restrain him, they arrested Bachman for public intoxication and took him to the county jail. During the ride Bachman was somewhat some-what combative and uncooperative. un-cooperative. Once he arrived in Coalville, Bachman's bail was set at $106. Park City's string of condo break-ins continued unabated the past few days. Among the victims were : William Downey of New York City whose condo residence at 255 Park Ave. was burglarized the night of Feb. 21. Downey says that he left the condo at 7 p.m. and returned at a quarter 'til eleven. The first thing he noticed upon coming home was his wallet on the floor, his baggage opened and his drawers ransacked. He had left his wallet containing $180 in a bag under the bedroom counter. The money, of course, was gone as were a few other items including a $25 pair of ski goggles. Access to the condo was apparently made through an unlocked door which leads from a bedroom to a second-story balcony. Tracks were found in the snow on the balcony which were made by Adidas running run-ning shoes which did not belong to Downey. A burglary sometime be et in on psafgser 4 the ground fM : t nor Construction has begun on the Park Hotel Condominiums, Main Street's most elegant lodging facility. On Monday, August 16 ground was broken for this eighteen eigh-teen unit luxury hotel scheduled to be completed in the spring of 1983. The Park Hotel Condominiums are a step into the modern, intelligent world of timeshare ownership. And they are a step into the past, to an era of elegance and quality qual-ity servre found only in the best hotels. This really is your chance to get in on the ground floor. There is still a very limited amount of pre-sale inventory available at an incredible 20off marketvalue. Phase II has been opened with a complete choice of weeks. tween Valentine's Day and Feb. 17 at Park Station appears to have been an inside job. According to Yvette Axelrode of Orinda, California, someone who apparently knew what he was up to took two $100 bills hidden in a brown purse in an orange ski boot bag which was concealed behind an orange suitcase in the bedroom bed-room closet. The money was, in other words, extremely well hidden. In the same stretch of time, another apparent inside in-side job was taking place at the Shadow Ridge condo of Anthony Salerno of Fitch-burg, Fitch-burg, Massachusetts. Salerno Saler-no says that he went skiing the morning of Feb. 15 and when he returned he counted his money in his wallet which was inside a chest of drawers. Salerno concluded that he was $100 short, but figured that the money had just been misplaced in the condo and would show up later. The next day he went skiing again. Getting home in the afternoon, he again went to his wallet in the chest of drawers and counted his money. An additional $120 was missing. Salerno and his roommate searched the condo thoroughly, but could not find the $220 anywhere. Police suspect that the money was removed by someone having free access to the room via a pass key. Finally, as always, the Park City Ski Area is very, very serious about making sure that skiers aren't getting get-ting on their mountain by using somebody else's season sea-son pass. So discovered Pat Meehan on Feb. 8 when he allegedly tried to board the gondola using somebody else's pass. According to lift operator Lea McDill of Kamas, who was operating the gondola at the time, at about 2:30 that afternoon Meehan came through the line wearing a ski pass belonging to another person namely, Jay Williams, whom McDill knew had been until recently an employee of the resort in the snowmaking department. Apparently, Williams had left town a few weeks before, but not before letting Meehan have his ski pass. Since the lift operator, McDill, knows both Williams and Meehan, she immediately immediate-ly confiscated the pass from Meehan and informed resort officials of the incident. They contacted Meehan and informed in-formed him he must cough up a $50 penalty fee or face prosecution. As of last report, re-port, Meehan hadn't paid up and the resort was talking in terms of getting a court date.
