See you Sat., Aug. 14 at the BMX Track Free Service Pictures tell the story of the Art Festival better than words. (See front page.) For the record, some 80,000 people flocked to Park City to see more than 200 exhibits of arts and crafts. The festival was so omnipresent that even one of those ubiquitous Toyota salesman on Salt Lake TV said, "On your way to the Art Festival, why not drop in and make a deal on a new car?" Some of the people at the festival were an artcraft in themselves. Many of you have already heard about the lady with python boots and acrylic painted jeans. One patron was observed with a hairdo tinted ruby red; another was dressed like a buckaroo's Playboy bunny (tight pants, flimsy black vest, and a bowtie at the neck); and one female art-lover was even seen in hair curlers. (If she had been required to send five slides in advance, would Sean have accepted ac-cepted her?) One of the most popular exhibits was Barbara Bar-bara Bennett and her antique brooms. The kids got their rocks off on a little "duck-on-wheels" toy. And adults flocked around the exhibit of octoscopes. It's a looking-glass that shows you an eight-sided view of whatever you are looking at. "This is the cheapest drug around," said one visitor. This week, Park City Performances said farewell to Demie Milliken, who has been secretary, ticket manager, custodian, gofer, and general factotum. She is off to New York to extend her horizons beyond the toilets of the Egyptian Theatre. But first Demie was the honored guest at a Deer Valley luncheon. Teri Gomes shot a cam-pagne cam-pagne cork halfway up the mountain (she's now getting offers from the last-place women's softball teams, who can't hit a ball that far) and guests snarfed up the goodies at the Huggery's buffet. The most popular items at the lunch were the hot buns. Unfortunately, Deer Valley couldn't take credit for them. A professional male stripper from Salt Lake showed up for the dessert course. While Demie looked on, with amazing composure, the guy oozed out of his disco shirt, boots, and tight pants, as his portable cassette played "Don't Stop till You Get Enough." By the time he got down to his jock strap, you not only knew how far his tan went, but whether he'd had recent surgery. All this must have been a real surprise to the other Deer Valley diners who thought they'd see nothing more exciting than a wild buck romping through the woods. (Hmmm. Come to think of it . . .) Thanks to the patrons, and to Deer Valley, for being good sports. During the strip, Madeline Smith sagely observed, "All the guys here are turning their heads, but if it was a woman . . . ! " Quite right, of course. So let's hear it for equal-opportunity equal-opportunity voyeurism ! The closest the guys came to an illicit thrill this week occurred during rehearsals for "Side by Side by Sondheim." Jackie Craigle was about to change from a blouse to a tank top when she realized she was still standing in the middle of the Egyptian auditorium, with 5 or 6 guys looking on. Thereupon she quickly dashed into an alcove. The weekend also brought an emotional end to the runs of "Night of the Iguana" and "Godspell". The last "Godspell" performance perfor-mance was especially poignant as musical director Jaynee Welty dedicated the show to actor Scott Morgan's brother, recently hospitalized following a stroke. Another myth shattered. An amateur Scottish Scot-tish scientist suggested this week that the Loch Ness Monster is really a bumpy log. Robert P. Craig, a retired electronic engineer, theorized that pine logs fall into the lake's depths and over a period of time, develop a waterproof outer skin and small pockets of gas within them. The gas causes them to rise to the surface, where lumps of resin on the log are mistaken for the monster's mon-ster's snout or fins. This theory doesn't explain ex-plain the photos of "something" with a long, looping neck in the lake. But then, we still believe in Godzilla. The ChamberBureau reports that camera crews were in Park City last month to shoot a commercial for Subaru, the official car of the U.S. Ski Team. It's a good thing the official car isn't Isuzu. After Bar Wars, I don't think anyone has the verbal communication skills to handle that. Park City has its share of illustrious authors. The city library presently has a copy of the new legal study "Woman Law" written by Dr. Charles Hemphill, a part-time Park City resident, and his daughter Anita, an instructor at UCLA. In a note to The Newspaper, Hemphill said the book was written mostly in Park City and Lamb's Canyon last summer. It was excerpted in last May's issue of "Cosmopolitan." Dr. Hemphill's 18th book "Wills and Trusts," was a Book-of-the-Month Club selection in 1979, and was also written in Park City. These books aren't exactly as thrilling as the latest Alistair MacLean, but we congratulate the Hemphills nonetheless. (Personally, we weren't going to read "Wills and Trusts" until the movie came out. We don't really see Robin Williams playing the part of Trusts, do you? ) DO YOU BELIEVE THIS ITEM? (It's a little disgusting, so if you're at the breakfast table, don't go any further.) According to UPI, the fed's Consumer Product Safety Commission reports that open drain holes in wading pools have the potential to accidentally acciden-tally disembowel small children. Without a grate on the hole, the government said, children sit on the holes, become trapped, and have their intestines sucked from their bodies. In a supposed case in Pennsylvania, a 4-year-old lost 75-80 of his small intestine and appendix to the drain hole. At least four other children have been victimized, but all survived. So far, we've gotten two reactions. People either get queasy, or they look at us skeptically skep-tically and say. "Sure! If you believe that, I have a big log in Loch Ness we can sell to Steven Spielberg for his next monster movie!" We're waiting to see if the story is just a big practical joke, and someone in Washington issues a disavowal of it. (Or a disabowelof it!)

The now-familiar skull and crossbones once adorned the flags of pirate ships, but in more modern times it has been associated with bottles of poison. In Park City, the fleshless head now is being associated with bottles of booze. In case you haven't seen them yet, white posters decorated with a black skull and crossbones have begun appearing in local watering holes, bearing the inscription: inscrip-tion: "WARNING: Park City Criminal Code prohibits open containers of alcohol and disturbances on public property." Some residents have complained com-plained that the visual impact im-pact of the posters is too strong, and will give visitors a bad impression of Park City. Others apparently find it attractive; so much, in fact, that they're being stolen almost as fast as they go up, and some bar owners have asked for more to sell to their patrons. The poster's designer is Frank Bell, Park City's chief of police. So, Frank, is it meant to be humorous or hard-nosed? "It was not meant to be strong, but eyecatching," he said, adding that he had done it with tongue-in-cheek. That's not to say that the message isn't serious. "The poster came about because one of the first meetings I attended when I got here was with the bar owners, who said they were losing a lot of glasses to people walking away with them," said Bell. The intent, he said, was to curb the missing glass problem (thereby cutting down on debris on the streets) by strongly reminding remind-ing bar patrons that there is an ordinance which prohibits open containers of alcohol outside of drinking establishments. establish-ments. Seventy-five posters were printed, which are available to any bar or private club owner who wishes to display them. No one has to use the signs, said Bell, but they seem to be going like hot-cakes. hot-cakes. City Manager Arlene Loble said she did not find the signs offensive. "No one is required to display them," she said. "But it's a means of helping the bars police themselvesit's them-selvesit's a good reminder to bars that that's what they're enforcing (the open container law). "I suspect Adolph's will find little call for them." she continued. "But we've had quite a good response from the beer bars. I'll bet they will be the hottest item in college dorm rooms this fall." The message on the posters is no-nonsense, but as to the art design, the designer himself said, "I thought it was kinda cute." Police Report Once is not enough Vandals in a shoot-'em-up mood blasted five windows 26 times with either a BB gun or pellets Aug. 2 at 1313 Woodside Avenue. Myra Strauchen told police that this is the second time that windows in the Double Jack condominium complex have been shot, the first just three months ago. She estimated the cost of the windows at $1,000. Vandals caused another $150 in damages by breaking out the windshield of a VW Rabbit owned by David Pancer. The car was parked on Main Street across from the Star Hotel Aug. 4 when the windshield was broken.

Park City resident Markle Sparks told police he was the victim of a theft Aug. 6 while he was in Prospector Square flying model airplanes. air-planes.

When he returned, an electrical elec-trical glow plug driver, starter motor and motorcycle motor-cycle battery worth $105 was missing. Three men were cited Aug. 7 for illegal possession of alcohol and drugs. After a call from a resident, police approached a car parked in the 500 block of Woodside Avenue containing five men. After a search, police cited Michael Snyder, 20, for the illegal possession of hashish, and Peter Leary, 18, and Marshall Palm, 18, for illegal possession of alcohol. Gregory Zmuda, 32, of Heber was taken to the Summit County Jail in Coalville Coal-ville Aug. 7 for public intoxication, after he ignored a warning from police to go home. Mark Stemler, owner of The Club on Main Street, called for police aid when Zmuda threw a chair. Because Be-cause there were other disturbances on Main Street at the same time, the police told Zmuda to go home, or risk going to jail. Two hours later, Zmuda returned to the Club. Shortly thereafter, he went to Coalville. On Aug. 8, Matthew Harman, 28, of Park City, was arrested for public intoxication and taken to the county jail. Two 20-year-old men were arrested Aug. 9 and charged with third degree felony theft after police discovered two wooden signs in the trunk of their car. The men were stopped at the intersection of Swede Alley and Heber Avenue by Officer Pat Pirraglio. The signs were emblazoned "Deer Valley Val-ley Shuttle" and "Coleman Land Company." The Coleman Cole-man sign was valued at $400. The men were taken to the county jail in Coalville and held on $3,000 bail each. A beer bottle was used to smash the rear window of a car owned by Sandra Macaluso of Murray Aug. 8. Nothing was taken from the vehicle, which was parked in Swede Alley. The value of the window was placed at $400. The Holiday Village Cinemas Cin-emas was the victim of a burglary Aug. 7, when $360 in cash was taken from a safe. According to the police report of the incident, a coathanger and a pry tool were used to get into a storeroom behind the concession con-cession counter of the movie theatre. The safe was entered enter-ed by using a pry tool. A door was broken open to gain entrance to an upstairs office and into a metal storage cabinet. No money was kept in the cabinet. Holiday Village Cinema personnel have given police the name of a suspect. Ann Goalen of Heber reported to police that the Resort-ex office at 1700 Park Avenue was burglarized Aug. 7. There were no signs of forced entry, indicating a key was used. Goalen said $240 was taken from an envelope.

A Salt Lake bomb disposal dispo-sal technician was called to Park City Aug. 4 to set off an unexploded avalanche control con-trol rocket found by a hiker. Robert Carrington of Park City told police he was hiking at ParkWest when he came upon the rocket. The bomb expert, Mike Riedel, set the rocket off at the city landfill after Bill Plummer of the Park City Ski Area offered preliminary help to officer Al Allen. |
