Ristau will continue to work at the station sta-tion to train Stern on the equipment and KPCWs style until the end of May. Although Stern has been in radio longer than Ristau, the younger radioman expects there will be a few nuances the shock jock will still need to know.

The results, a 1,342-page tome with 653 pages of indexes, bibliographies bibli-ographies and glossaries, showed that all of Park City's efforts to sustain a viable economy based on tourism were constantly con-stantly thwarted by outside effects such as global warming, political unrest in Sandy, the letter 'H' and the Atkins Diet. Phil Mellon, executive director of the Chamber, pointed out that the WeatherCreator 1000, bought from the Acme Company last year, had resulted in some positive effects, such as the early season snowfall, but its full promise had never come to fruition.

Stern said that he is looking forward to the laid-back pace of Park City and plans to add "a little more expletive controversy" to the tone of the program. Stern said he was up to the challenge of finding lesbian polygamist wives who would be willing to appear on his show in string bikinis, saying "I can talk any expletive into doing expletive I want."

Ristau, whose velvety tones and relaxed approach to interviews is in direct conflict with the antics of the shock jock, nonetheless nonethe-less feels Stern's contributions will be a positive pos-itive influence on the station and the community. com-munity. But how is the mega-radio personality expected to fare in Park City? "Excellent," said Ristau.
