UTAH VALLEY BRIEFING Ogden business owners favor tram link from Snowbasin to city OGDEN (AP) Linking Snowbasin Ski Resort to downtown Ogden with the proposed Mt. Ogden tram is vital to the city's future, city merchants say. "Snowbasin will be overflowing with people eventually and the way it's set up now, it will become a Salt Lake ski resort," real estate agent Mel Sowerby said Wednesday. "If we don't do something, we will lose out." Downtown businesses are worried that skiers and Olympic visitors coming from the south will bypass Ogden by taking Trappers Loop off Interstate 84. The businesses and other leaders recently decided to argue for extending the tram from a base in the foothills to downtown Ogden so merchants could benefit from tourists. But Chris Peterson, vice president of Sinclair Oil, which is the parent company of Snowbasin, said the resort is excited about being linked to Ogden. , "It's been a struggle up there," he said. "I'd hate to lose afiy revenue at all. On balance, though, it would probably be good for Northern Utah." has already Snowbasin spent more than $20 million on and recent improvements expects to spend $77 million before the 2002 Winter Games. The resort will be featured prominently during the Games as the host of the men's and women's downhill competitions, traditionally skiing's most glamorous events. One of the proposed tram sites would traverse Snowbasin property, and both proposed tram routes depend on the resort building a restaurant on the mountaintop. Merchants met Wednesday to speak with city officials about the proposed tram, and most businesspeople were in favor of the link. "If we do not make some kind of physical connection with Snowbasin, Ogden will continue to flounder," said J.W. Budge, manager of the Historic Radisson Suites Hotel. But the public's reaction to a tram has been mostly negative. Residents of Ogden's East Bench say they don't want the increased traffic in their neighborhood, and others say a tram would ruin the aesthetics of the mountain. Mayor Glenn Mecham and the Ogden City Council will soon decide whether to pursue funding for further studies or let the idea drop. The tram would cost between $11.7 and $13.4 million, depending on the route. Peterson advised merchants that lengthening the tram would double the cost of building it. Instead, he suggested they follow Ketchum's lead and buy buses or trolleys to pick up tourists at key points such as Union Station or Dinosaur Park and take them to the tram base. POLICE BEAT KITCHEN FIRE Firefighters extinguished a small fire in the oven of a home in northeast Provo Thursday night. No one was hurt in the incident, which occurred in the home of Carol Morrison, 285 E. 2020 North, Provo. Two fire engines, two ambulances and a fire truck responded to the fire.

He said the pair stole three handguns, a large amount of drugs and some cash. "It appeared to be random," Hirst said. "They took whatever drugs there were; they weren't at all selective."

"We actually picked them up at a domestic violence call in Pleasant Grove," Hirst said. "They (Pleasant Grove police) made contact with our two individuals and noticed they had items taken in our burglary and called us, and we confirmed they were our items.
