Show The Newspaper Thursday, October 2, 1980 Pag? Five More Names Released In Cocaine Ring Investigation CITY COUNCIL UPCOMING AGENDA Meeting to be held Thursday, October 2, 1980 at 7 p.m., Prospector Square Conference Center Five new names were released this week in connection con-nection with a two-year undercover un-dercover investigation by federal, fed-eral, state and local agents into cocaine trafficking in Park City. Since the investigation in-vestigation first was revealed August 22, a total of nine persons have been arrested or charged with aiding and abetting, conspiracy con-spiracy to distribute, or distribution of a controlled substance. The names released Monday Mon-day by Del Mortensen of the Utah State Liquor Law Enforcement En-forcement Agency are Isabelle Wright, Lane Jackson, James Swan, Ken Carmoney and a man known only as Scott. "We have not as yet located these individuals," Mortensen said. "But charges have been filed and the complaints signed in the state district court. These individuals all clearly had prior drug involvement in . Park City, but whether they lived there or just visited, I don't know." ' One of the suspects named, Isabelle Wright, recently was employed by The Gazebo in Park City, and was known as Isa. Assistant Summit County Attorney Terry Christiansen said Monday that Wright was arrested in Castledale, Utah about two or three weeks ago. She has been charged with two counts of unlawful distribution of a controlled substance for value, and will be arraigned before Fifth Circuit Court Judge Larry Keller October 6. At that time, Judge Keller will determine if there is probable cause to bind Wright over for trial in district court. Previously arrested on state charges of distribution of and conspiracy to distribute cocaine was 26-year-old Mark Allred. He was arrested in Sacramento, Calif., August 29. He waived extradition and returned to Salt Lake City, where he was placed in the Salt Lake County Coun-ty Jail. Allred later was released on bail. Christiansen Christian-sen said Allred's case has been continued, and a court appearance has yet to be scheduled. To date, three former or present Park City residents have been named in federal indictments. Allan Savage has been charged with conspiracy con-spiracy to distribute a controlled con-trolled substance, distribution dis-tribution of a controlled substance, and aiding and abetting. Sheila Wilson Jones has been charged only with conspiracy. They both were arraigned before U.S. Magistrate Dan Alsup at the end of August, and will stand trial in U.S. District Court October 21. The first arrest made by the federal agents was Corky Foster, who was referred to as the top of the local cocaine ladder. He was arraigned August 22 and currently is being held in the Salt Lake County Jail without bail. Foster was arrested in Mexico in 1976 for possession of cocaine, and later was transferred to the United States in a prisoner exchange ex-change program. He was on parole at the time of his arrest last month. "A significant amount of cocaine has been purchased by agents during this investigation," in-vestigation," Mortensen said. "It was large enough to move to the level of organization we felt we needed to. It was purchased under very controlled conditions, con-ditions, which is necessary to protect the evidence and to show the chain of distribution." It previously was disclosed that agents had purchased an equivalent street value of $250,000 in cocaine, and that the suspects were dealing in a multi-million multi-million dollar drug ring that included traffic in Califor nia, Florida, Arizona, Mexico and Bolivia. "Many thousands of dollars have been written off in this investigation," Mortensen Mor-tensen said. "When agents spend money for drug buys, the typical way is to arrest the suspect immediately with the money. In this case, we spent the money and allowed suspects to walk away. We had to get up the ladder." Mortensen said the investigation in-vestigation will continue, and it could take more than a year before it is closed. He estimated that as many as 20 persons eventually will be charged. 1.

UNFINISHED BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE COMMITTEE REPORTS ( 1TV ATTORNEY'S REPORT l Cross-Country Trip Will Bring New Manager to City Hall Monday The West has been settled, and horses and covered wagons have been replaced by moving vans and autos, but Arlene Loble's move from Connecticut to Utah still is a pioneer adventure of sorts. She's Park City's new city manager, and the first woman in the state to hold that position. On Monday morning, she'll begin work at City Hall, relieving the extra ex-tra work load that was placed on city officials last June when Wayne Matthews resigned the post. Ms Loble is coming to Park City from Windsor, Ct., where she served as the assistant town manager for two years. Prior to that, the 35-year-old Loble spent three years in Helena, Montana as the assistant director of budget and evaluation department. Before promotion to that position, she served as a planner in the city-county planning department, the development develop-ment director of Helena's housing authority, and the urban renewal director. She currently is writing her master's thesis, the only remaining requirement to earn a degree in Public Administration. Ad-ministration. "I'm proud and pleased to be coming to Park City," Loble said in a telephone interview in-terview with The Newspaper. "I came to Park City years ago to ski and had a wonderful time. It's a beautiful place such a breathtaking view to come up the canyon and see the mountains. I'm looking forward for-ward to working and living there." Loble commented that Windsor is a community of 26,000 people with a full-time staff of 200. Her work there centered around the supervision super-vision of the city departments, with direct responsibility for labor relations and preparation of the town's $17 million budget. She said her strength in those areas should prove to be an asset. While Park City's size certainly cer-tainly should pose no problems fo Loble, she noted that dealing with a resort community that is experiencing experien-cing explosive growth will present a challenge. "Park City is a real community com-munity in contrast," she said. "Old, new, high income, in-come, low income a real diversity. It paints a picture of a city that has outgrown itself ;, the growth has been too fast for the administration ad-ministration to handle. "The range of services that are needed is incredible," in-credible," she continued. "It's hard for me at this point to figure out who the town is serving the residents or the seasonal influx. It will make a diffei v.-nce how I think the city should finance those services, and whether there needs to be a constant number of city employees or if the staff should be geared to the season." Loble said her first priority will be to work with the city and the public to determine how it thinks Park City should grow. "I'm not a plumber: I can't come in and fix things," she said. "It's a question of my working with the community to see where it's going, and where it would like to go. The community com-munity itself has to say. 'this is where Park City is today, here's where we want it to be in the future!" Loble said when she came to Park City to interview for the position in August, she spent a great deal of time reading past issues of the local newspapers to acquaint herself with the town. The Summit County investigation in-vestigation of the building inspection office didn't escape her attention. "The investigation is not a problem for me not in the sense that it scares me." Loble said. "I don't see that as a corrupt situation, but one where things got out of hand. To me, there was no clear-cut right or wrong. The primary thing now is to show the community and the incoming in-coming developers that they are dealing with a professional city government, govern-ment, and to make sure we're geared up to handle the pressures already existent and those to come in the future." When asked if being a woman in a responsible position in a male-dominated city government, Loble chuckled. "It's been my long-time problem, but I've gotten used to it. Being a woman in a management position is a little unusual, and some people have a hard time accepting it. And the fact that I'm a single parent is sometimes, even harder for people to accept. But I've dealt with it for a long time, so 1 don't expect it to be a real problem lor me in Park City. Probably the biggest problem are people's unreal expectations and the time frame in which they expect to see things happen. Like any new city manager, I'm sure I'll be spending a lot of time learning the ebb and flow of the town." Lobk' commented that she fell a city manager coming from outisde Park City will be an asset. ' Since I'm not from the city, I don't know the power structure," she said. "I will be open-minded, and bring an external viewpoint that will be valuable. I believe I got the job because I have strengths in areas that the city is in need of now. At another time, another manager might by more appropriate. ap-propriate. I believe that when you've done what is best for the community, it's time to move on and make way for a person who can of-, fej the city other assets. rPark City will offer mc'u real challenge that I'm looking forward to. Again, I'm proud and pleased. " 614 Main 649-9066 COMMERCIALDUPLEX PROPERTY KAMAS wm tv i .
